The problem is that wiiosc uses localhost implicitly. It would be close
to trivial to add another option to wiiosc so that you can define a
remote host instead. I don't have the time at the moment, sorry. As a
quick hack you could change line 228 in wiiosc.c

t = lo_address_new(NULL, outport); // change later to use other host

and replace the NULL by the remote host's IP address:

t = lo_address_new("192.168.2.10", outport);

and recompile.

Cheers,
