-ok, do you get any errormessages (red ones)?
- did the pcs connect succesfully ?
- did the script load sucessfully?
- is there any other info you could post us, to better help you?

It says it sent the message and the other pc says it recieved it.. but its not pressing the keys..

hm, what window do you have actvive on the lounge-pc? (or better ask, what says the lounge-pc, when it recieves the key) ?

It says it has sent the key on both client and server.

hm, are you running vista? -if so, are you running hkn, as admin?

What program are the keystrokes getting sent to? If it's protected by GameGuard or a similar anti-cheat program, the injected keystrokes will not be received.

If i do it locally on this pc, it sends the keys fine into the window.
Same on the other PC if i turn the server to a clinet and client to a server.

But over the network it wont let me send into the specific window.

Anyway i can make it send exactly the same as local but to the other system

Currently script looks like:

Code:

---

<Label lounge 192.168.1.110 SendFocusWin>

<Hotkey Numpad5>
        <SendLabel lounge>
                    <Key 1>
<Hotkey Numpad6>
        <SendLabel lounge>
                      <Key 2>
<Hotkey Numpad7>
        <SendLabel lounge>
                    <Key 3>
<Hotkey Numpad8>
        <SendLabel lounge>
                      <Key 4>
<Hotkey Numpad9>
        <SendLabel lounge>
                    <Key 6>
<Hotkey Numpad0>
        <SendLabel lounge>
                      <Key 5>

You don't have to change that. Any copy of HotkeyNet, regardless of whether it's a client or server, has the same abilities.

What do you mean into the specific window? Your script doesn't send to a specific window. It sends to whichever window happens to be in the foreground. Olipcs suggested writing the script that way to make it slightly easier. If you want to send to a specific window, you have to name the window in the label.

honestly i did this on purpose, because he never mentioning a specific application he wants to send to, so i thought he wants a more general broadcasting (hence my question, if keyclone can send to windows, without 'adding' them).

I know you had a good reason. :)

Maybe he has HotkeyNet in the foreground on the remote so he can watch the messages.

Edit: Btw Olipcs, this thread is an example of why I'm eliminating server/client in HKN2. People see "client" and "server" and jump to wrong conclusions.

keyclone can do this fairly easily... just type the ip and port into the command area, hit 'connect' and that's it.

---

-yep, than you have basic broadcasting ready.
To customize what you want you have to use some keymaps (to get the numpad2 --> k') combined with the whitelist or 'only broadcast hotstrings' (to not broadcast every key), as far as I know.

Another question I simply don't know:
- Is it possible in keyclone to simply broadcast to the 'ActiveWindow' (FocusWin), without specifying it? (- I thought you need to 'add' windows to keyclone (especialy when you want to use keymaps), but as I never used keyclone on more than one pc I simply don't know).

---

actually, no. there is no need for keymaps (keymaps will change a key for the target window... if you hit 5 on one window, you can make 7 go into another). keymaps are generally for more advanced setups where you have 3 or more classes.

by default, all your wows on the local machine would be managed by keyclone. once you connect to the other keyclone on the other machine, any key enter into any wow will go to all others. its that simple.
