    You should use the Microsoft Winsock control.

    The program that reads temps and has them in textboxes, should be a server.

    The PCs that connect to that computer to read those values are the clients.

    There are a lot of Winsock client/server examples on here and everywhere else on the internet.

    If you just need to display whats on first PC then use remote desktop or VNC. No need to go through trouble of writing and maintaining another program.

    If data needs to be stored then modify program in first PC to save to a database. All other clients will connect to database to retrieve values.
