I'd suggest going to the HotKeyNet tutorial link in my sig and starting from scratch. Then if you're still having issues, post the details, including the errors and the script you are using so that I can troubleshoot what's not working.

After you have the basic broadcasting working, then we can work on editing the script to do specific things.
Thanks for the reply. I managed to figure it out, but I'm still having a bit of trouble.

I've assigned a macro for my secondary character in WoW2 to follow my main character in WoW1 and set it to be key mapped in-game to the F1 key. I assigned Hotkeynet to only use the F1 key on WoW2. But whenever I press the F1 key, yes, it works, but it also immediately switches windows to WoW2, which is not what I wanted it to do.

Also, I have to alt-tab out a lot, because whenever I need to accept or reject a quest or pick up loot or track how far along my secondary character is in a specific quest. I've seen several macros around to get my secondary character to just accept the quest but that really doesn't work--the character is just non responsive.

I'll show you the code for hotkeynet that I made to utilize the F1 and F2 keys for my secondary character. Both of the hotkeys now work, but they immediately switch the active window in Windows 7 to WoW2, and then I have to alt+tab back into WoW1.

And I have both WoWs in Windowed mode. Before I had them in Windowed [Fullscreen] since I find it annoying to not be utilizing my laptop's entire screen, but I'd just imagine that playing in Windowed mode just makes everything a whole lot easier.

Lastly, a quick question: Say I decide to not Multibox on the same computer and instead use a separate computer for my secondary account. My main computer is a Windows computer using hotkeynet but my secondary computer runs only Mac OS X. Is it possible to share my keys with a computer that is running an entirely different OS? Does hotkeynet support Windows-to-mac or vice-versa key sharing?

Thank you.

Here's the coding that I have loaded in hotkeynet as of now:

Code:
<Label w1 Local SendWin "WoW1"><Label w2 Local Sendwin "WoW2">


<Hotkey CapsLockOn F1>
<SendLabel w2>
<Key %Trigger%>


<Hotkey CapsLockOn F2>
<SendLabel w2>
<Key %Trigger%>
