I've just spent the last hour relearning dot net, and fixing my trigger - sorry rlilly for the trouble you've had with my previous version!
It's now working fine for me with latest Vixen.
Here's how:
Ensure that you've placed NetworkTrigger.dll in Vixen 2.0/Plugins/Trigger
Open Vixen
Update it (Help menu)
Click the "Network Trigger" text in the Triggers menu. (if it's not there, then you haven't correctly installed the dll)
Check the port number, press OK.
If you get any errors here, it means that there's another program using that TCP/IP port. Close Vixen, and start from the top, but when you get to this step, change the port number to something else.
The NetworkTrigger server is now running. Now we need to do something when the server gets events.
Create a "Trigger response" (Sequence->New)
Press the + button.
Select NetworkTrigger.NetworkTrigger, "line" 32 (ASCII for space - you can choose any ASCII value you like), give it a description, and choose a sequence.
Press "Test", and test the trigger you've just created. It should run your sequence when you click the button - if not, you've made a mistake whilst adding the trigger.
So, now for the fun part - press the > (Play) button, and you'll note the arrow on your trigger turns green.
Open up a TCP connection to your computer (I used hypertrm), connect to it on the port you specified (default is 4325).
Once a connection has been established, you can press space to start your sequence.
