really old vb program i found on my hard drive

[htaed]

Just a really old client server mess around program i found on my hard drive from a few years ago,

have a look at it, i remember it being quite amusing when i installed the server onto my brothers computer and kept opening his disc tray and he was like wtf,

the server is listening on port 7666 and there is a problem with it that it just says listening and doesn't change at all even if your connected to it

Hmmm.... Looks interesting for something just digged up.

pretty simple to make, just loads of,

If dat = "opencd" Then
    lRet = mciSendString("set CDAudio door open", returnstring, 127, 0)
ElseIf dat = "opennotepad" Then
    Shell "notepad.exe"

on the server, and

Private Sub Command3_Click()
sckClient.SendData "opencd"
End Sub

Private Sub Command7_Click()
sckClient.SendData "opennotepad"
End Sub

on the client, and a few more lines for the connection itself.

It wouldn't really work a lot of the time, unless he has an unsecured modem. Most modern routers block ports that aren't specifically set, so even if you did get the listening server on to his computer, it wouldn't necessarily work.

The easiest way is physical access to your friend's computer, nonetheless.

Yeah, you would need to actually set this up through the router to get it working. (Port forwarding)

There are other ways you can do this without portforwarding, like, silently install a bot that takes commands over IRC, then send commands through that or something.

This will work over a network just fine, though. Just type in the network IP address of the computer, and you can get it working just fine. (Assuming they have the server running.)

What do Dog/Disney do?
