in case you don't know, type that in command prompt of WinXP or Win2k.

you find command prompt in start|accessories|system tools|command prompt

Hahah, if you were a SDD/IPT person, instead of an SDD/IT student, I would be posting a lot more.

I don't regret not-having selected SDD, but IPT is pretty cool and it's a great forum to post in, there are always interesting Q's there to jog my memory, keeping me on my feet, etc

Or better still use this neat little freeware utility, which is a substitute for winpopup in Windows XP or 2000:

Lol vnc is very funny... our school has about 120 dell computers all on the network, and playing around with vnc, particularly with year 7's and that is particularly funny
