QmidiNet

Both computers are in different cities.
Is that possible with QmidiNet?
no. sorry. qmidinet relies on udp multicast which only works on type-c ip network segments, usually your local LAN segment; this kind of traffic doesn't get through a WAN, let alone the internet--in practical terms, it can get through over a network switch but never, ever over a router of any kind any type (wired or not).

what might work is aseqnet on the linux side perhaps (from alsa-utils) , maybe?

I have just installed Qmidinet on a Mageia PC and I am trying to find a way to get midi signals from a co-hosted Windows XP VM.

I have both the trial version of nerds.de Qmidinet-compatible and the zeroconf ipMIDI full version on the XP "machine".

ipMIDI can "see" the Mageia host but cannot connect to qmidinet (no firewall in the way). So far I have had no luck with nerds.de, but I cannot see why. Is there a way, with qmidinet, to determine what remote network connections are visible, as with zeroconf/avahi?

no. it's all supposed to work just like bad old plug-and-play. it you don't sense any signal coming/going through, than something is broken in the udp/ip stack and VMs might be notorious on this respect :)

are you certain that you're not tripping into the situations expelled on the above comment?
