Keeping Rendering going

I'm trying to add networking to my game and i need two instances of my app running at once so i can test networking through the echo port. How exactly would I keep ogre from holding rendering when its not the active window? And how do i keep the mouse from being restricted to the render window when not in fullscreen mode?

Those threads are very outdated Sinbad. The situation in Ogre is currently a little better because windows are only enabled and disabled by the WindowEventUtilities::messagePump function. So just setting your window back to active right after calling the messagePump function should allow you to get around this. You could also not use the messagePump and process your own message loop for the window but then you will have to repeat this for all platforms.
