Cam someone tell me which program I need to send some command to a specific port of a PC in a network like I do it with Hyperterminal and the empeg.
I'm running a program called PC Remote Control.
This prog listens on a specific port.
If I knew a prog to send command on this port this program will run other applications.
But I don't know how to send command on this port.

Not EXACTLY sure what you want to do, but this might be a good place to start...

Simply spoken I want a program running on my PC that, when I press "w" e.g. will send this command to an other PC in the network.
On that PC I'm running a program that notices this "w" and will automatically start winamp.
So its a remote control via Lan without those bandwithwasting features like screendump.
It's a little bit like NetBus or those kiddie progs.
I hope you can now understand what I mean?!

You could write something in VB very quickly. Perhaps WSH using Jscript or VBscript could give good results also.
Netcat is an awesome tool but is only command line based.

I have never used VB before.
In fact I just started to learn C and C++.
I think I will go with Netcat till I know how to write VB progs.

Go with C/C++, and you'll never need to learn to write VB progs .


Roger - not necessarily speaking for empeg

Unless you are a hardcore programmer or don't run Windows,
if you learn to write VB progs, you'll likely never see the need to use C.

I took an ANSI C class after programming in VB for about a year. Never used the stuff. It was very interesting to learn what your computer is really doing though.
