Hello Steve,
I am very glad you got it going! The firewall / locked network situation is definitely an issue we absorb when working with information protocols. I have made it a habit to being with me an Apple Airport Express when I am traveling in order to be able to use gHowl properly. Please let us know what you get up to with MRMR and grasshopper through gHowl!

@Steve I'm working on that same thing the way I do it was by connecting touchOSC to processing and then processing to Gh3d I'll make a basic tutorial I this perhaps next week I'll let you know

Not sure where Rodrigo posted this, but its not necessary to connect to Processing to do this (as you know Giulio). gHowl receivers and senders can use the OSC protocol directly.

Yes, Rodrigo posted that here: http://www.grasshopper3d.com/group/ghowl

It would be great to have a tutorial I think.

Can you give me some tips on your firewall tweaks?  I haven't gotten any messages through yet, despite turning off Windows Firewall entirely...

Hello Marc,

To be able to help you I would need to know a bit more about your network setup.  Usually if messages cannot get through it means that either the network does not allow it or the two devices which are trying to communicate are not on the same network or subnet.  If the two devices are definitely on the same network, then you need to check with the network admin and see if there are certain firewall restrictions there.
