[YeOldeStonecat]

Probably Messenger service.

[monkeyhead]

[cyberskye]

MMC> SendCosoleMessage > his ip address in the TO: field

[monkeyhead]

found it..... but need pass to send message... which means he got to send me one cause....? guest account? or guessed password...?

[cyberskye]

If this is an offiice computer you want to report this rather than deal with it yourself. Accessing someone else's machine without permission or to send unofficial communication is generally frowned upon in hte business world.

[monkeyhead]

this is in school.... he hasnt done anything maliciously visible.... yet.....

[cyberskye]

disable the messenger service.

[monkeyhead]

done....

if its NT4

bring up a dos prompt

net send (ip address) "your message"

or as they said above, disable..

[cyberskye]

That will only prevent some things. If this is your machine, I would install sygate personal firewall or the like. That would prevent other means of access.

Also works on Win2k & XP Pro.
