for a computer to connect you need a Client and Server
one to .Connect and one to .Listen at a specified port...

but how do u connect to a comnputer on a nterwork without giving it a copy of the program
ie to force itto do something

for example.. if i was a Supervisor and i wanted to shutdown all the computers on my network without loading the program on the Server... how would i go about doing this?

thanx if u can help...
