    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.

    Unhappy

    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?

    thx, vbzero

    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.

    yup

    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.

    Thumbs up

    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!

    thx, vbzero
