hi,
i was wondering how you can send console messages or any type of message through a network. also i was wondering if there is any software that can view other peoples screens on the network ;) i have tried sending a console message from the computer management. is there any software for either?

btw i am connected via a wireless network but the computer i want to see/contact is on the ethernet port in the back of my wifi router

any help would be much appreciated

There is a Windows command called net send that works if you have the messenger service running.

NET SEND {name | * | /DOMAIN[:name] | /USERS} message
Sends messages to other users, computers, or messaging names on the network. The Messenger service must be running to receive messages.

You can send a message only to an name that is active on the network. If the message is sent to a username, that user must be logged on and running the Messenger service to receive the message.

name Is the username, computername, or messaging name to send the message to. If the name is a computername that contains blank characters, enclose the alias in quotation marks (" ").
* Sends the message to all the names in your group.
/DOMAIN[:name] Sends the message to all the names in the workstation domain. If name is specified, the message is sent to all the names in the specified domain or workgroup.
/USERS Sends the message to all users connected to the server.
message Is text to be sent as a message.

Also if you are using WinXP youhave the application called Remote Desktop that will allow you to control the other computer transfer files and message. Just google Remote Desktop or go to the help section.
