How can I open a remote port on another PC from my computer?

Does anyone know how to open a port on another
PC from my computer?

Any suggestions?

Sorry man, I might be wrong, but I think it can't be done, unless you "plant" a program on the other computer, either by hiding it inside an exe file or asking the person to load and run it.

Again, I might be wrong but I think that that's the case ..

asabi is right...you can't open a port on a remote conputer unless you plant an exe that will allow you acess to the remote computer.

OK - I was affraid it would be so, but what about
using an open port to communicate?
I mean - maybe there exists a port 35674 on the
remote machine and it's used by a program on
his computer - but not programmed by me - ...
can I use this port to connect?

The program on the other machine doesn't understand
any commands from my computer. Only the port is
open.

Any suggestions?

Yup i think that you would be able to connect to that open port...i'm not sure if you will be able to send commands through those already used ports but you can give it a shot.

you can connect to a remote port that is used by another program but you won't be able to do anything with it unless you know exactly what is supposed to be remotely sent to the program. If you want to find out what is remotely sent to you from the open port just create a textbox and anything that comes through the port have it written in the textbox.

Good suggestions, but who can tell me that in
code? I think the idea to monitor the in-and
outbound events is very good.

If anyone can show me that in code it would be
perfect!
