network drawing with your friends

TundraDraw supports drawing with friends in real-time over an Internet connection. To start a session, go to Tools -> Start Server...

If you aren't running as root, you should choose a port above 1024. Then enter a nickname to use for the chat session, and hit Start Server. Now your friends may connect to you by choosing Tools -> Connect to Server...

In the Connect to Server dialog, your friend should enter your IP Address, the port you have chosen, and a nickname of his/her own. Then he/she should hit Connect.

Once connected, you may chat in the chat window, or draw on the canvas as you normally would. Enjoy!

NOTE: If you are behind a router, be sure to forward the port you have chosen to your computer, otherwise you will likely not be able to run a server. Consult your router's manual if you are not sure how to do this.
