Exactly. Dots are not allowed in CLAM processings names, since are used 
for the connections in the XML.
I updated the network_scene_exporter script to replace thems, so if you 
update your sandbox it should work now...

Yes, you could just replace in the BlenderOSCSender script the 
"Message(message,value).sendlocal(port)" line by 
"Message(message,value).sendto("xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx",port)", where 
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the ip that you want to send the messages.

Natanael.
