    Hi.. I've installed venue service and it's ok. I can see it running.

    But, I have 2 machines, the server and a tablet pc. When I try to connect both conferencexp clients in the server, I can't see the other participants... In the tablet I see only the tablet-user and in the server only the server-user...
    About.. firewalls, I tried without firewall but the problem is there...
    What can i do?

    What is the network connectivity like between these 2 machines?  Are they both wired into the same hub?  Is the Tablet wireless and the server wired?

    Nop. The venue service is running on orion.dcc.uchile.cl, and the tablet was on my home network. So, they aren't wired.

    Ah.. I ran conferencexp on the tablet and my pc (both on the same hub) and i connected them to the server located in orion, and I could see both.

    But I leave my pc running, with a webcam and I connected the tablet to orion with conferencexp (from other LAN.. not at home)  and I couldn't see my home pc..

    Is conference designed to be used "only" on a same LAN?

    Thanks!

    It is designed to work with multicast networks, unless you use a Reflector.  A "same LAN" is multicast enabled by default (if everyone is on the same side of the router).
