Hiya Folks

This might seem a stupid question but is it actually possible to control another computer over a network. That is to say I have 2 'puters networked sharing a BB internet connection. I am on a works computer (98se) at the mo, I live in, and the BB connection is mine!, the computer in my room (XP Pro) is currently connected to a P2P but not downloading (ie I am file sharing a few thousand CD's) this makes my 'tea break' a little tiresome as the connection is slowed considerably.

The question..over a network (where I have Admin rights) is it possible to shut down progs on the other computer?

Cheers Jase

Not hardly a stupid question. Sounds like you seek VNC - virtual network computing. Suggest you start here Remote Control (http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/>http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/</a>)
