You can try checking the examples in the [oscP5 site](http://www.sojamo.de/libraries/oscP5/#examples). You need to have both computers behind the same wifi network for this to work. You need to find the ip address of each computer and use a port that is no taken by your OS or any of the underlying software. Usually I try a number above 12000.

If you run into any trouble, please provide the error info and a minimum version of your code.
