Yeah could do that, would mean extending the wire on the data projector socket to that though, easy enough.

Do u have a main computer at your work? You can run it off that , because my teacher ran it of his Laptop

Yeah we have something like that here just called 'What are you doing?'

Problem is the projector computer is just a normal student machine so we couldn't really have anything that powerful on it in case a student decided to log off his mate for a laugh.

At my old school they used a program called visionclient and the teacher could watch what we were doing, and if we were playing games etc he could shut down are pc's or log us off

I need something like this for work, we have classrooms with 17-20 computers in and one wired up to the data projector, would be nice to get any one of the student machines displayed on the big screen or even split it up or something so I can display two/four student desktops on the wall.

eitherway, post pics in the prem lounge :thumbs:

visionclient?

Dameware is good, can install the service remotely and doesn't request access from the remote user

vnc, its great and the other person dont even know ur warching

Thanks for the suggestions

Dameware is another remote desktop option!

PS I can see this thread getting thrashed so Id be quick lol

Ultra VNC :thumbs:

Ive used it for a very similar reason on a wireless network ;)

Search in google for it and when you install it make sure that you select the view only setting so that you cant move his mouse or anything and he wont know. Also when you install it on his, make sure you selct the option that doesnt show it in the staus bar.

Netop and pc anywhere are two I know of.

I think you can disable the choice to say no when it's installed. Although you may be able to tell when someones connected if you know where to look.

But thinking about it, netop asks the user if its ok to let you see the desktop so your brother could just say no :look:

I cant think of the name of the other piece of software that does it

you would need to install some software like netop. Remote desktop comes with XP but just allows an extra connection to the PC rather than actually seeing what your brother is seeing

Basically my brothers girlfriend is always getting her knockers out over the web cam so I want to do a bit of spying and see what he is seeing :lol:

Is there a way I can see the screen of another computer over my home network?

I've seen the IT boffins in work do this with windows 200 server software but I only have XP at home

Help is welcomed and I could share the results with CS!
