There are two scenarios.\n\n1) The other PC is local or nearby, and you can physically go and check it.\n\n2) It's not and you can't. In this case finding out where it physcially is can be very hard or impossible.\n\nThe phrase 'networking with another pc' is a bit vague, but in general if you can 'ping' the other computer over the network or Internet then they are networked.\n\nFor example if your computer has Internet address of 192.168.1.1 and the other computer is 192.168.1.100, by typing:\n\nping 192.168.1.100 from your command prompt it will reply and tell you that you are talking.\n\nIf the question is, 'Is my computer communicating with another computer without my knowledge, how can I tell?', then type:\n\nnetstat -an\n\nfrom either Windows or Unix command prompts, and look at all the lines that end ESTABLISHED. Those are established connections between your computer (Local Address) and another computer (Foreign Address). Good luck.

check that file sharing is enabled in your firewall and that all your computers on your network have the same workgroup name

you could try radmin, logmein, gotomypc, \n\nif you are able to access the net properly than these software will work fine with it.\n\nlet me know if you have any further question.

do ipconfig on both laptops\n\ntry &#92;&#92;<ipaddr>,  for eg if your friends laptop shows 10.0.0.1\nenter &#92;&#92;10.0.0.1 in the "run" window\n\nIf you have enabled network file sharing, you should see all shared files on the other system (control panel->add/remove programs -> windows component -> networking components)\n\nIf this doesnt work, as a last resort get filezilla client and server

Okay.  are they both connected to the same router?

Both support TCP/IP which you are using now. Set up each computer with an address on the same subnet.

net send name of computer or ip messsage\neg:\n net send homepc hello

netstat -a\nthis will show your pc's connections, so it will show the ip of yahoos msgr server but not your friends that are also connected to msngr.

You can check to see how many addresses are being handed out if you AP provides DHCP service.  Even if your AP doesnt provide DHCP and someone is just associated to the AP then there should be a screen or some sort of log that shows you who is connected.  It will show you the MAC address unless you have some other sort of authentication set up.\n\nIf your AP provides firewall service also, then you can check all outgoing connections as they are being built to see where they are going.

If you want to share  your brothere's Computer then First you have to creat the Local Workgroup and ceate your's computer and brother's computer the member of that workgroup. \n\nthen you can install one software called VNC (viwer and server) on both the computer.\n\nThen by open up VNC viewer and typeing  your brother's Computer name or IP addres.\n you can fetch his Desktop on your computer  and see what his doing at that point of time.  Best thing about  this software is that  he could not be able to feel that somebody is tracking him \n And you can beautfully Scare him.  \n\nBut you have to bring both the Computer in the LAN as the Guy above had Mention.

If you're on linux using a bash shell, you could use nmap.\n\nIf you're on windows, download a network scanner and use that.

it depends on which distro you're using, if any. most modern distros will have a plethora of network monitoring tools available in your standard gnome or kde menu. look into the progs included with your distro and read up on the documentation.

If you connect both of them with a normal cable to a hub they are physically connected.\n\nCheck the settings on both computers and either set both of them to a fixed IP address in any of the RFC1918 address ranges (192.169.x.x, 172.16.x.x, or 10.x.x.x) or set both of them to DHP and in the absense of DHCP they will randomly pick a IP address (you'll need to go and find it in ordeer to use it on the other machine)\n\nIf you can "ping" the other machine's IP address, your done (check that (personal) firewalls aren't blocking you).\n\nAs far as application, you didn't specify what you want to achieve, but typically you'll need to activate a server service on one machine and have a client on the other machine.

You can do many things for this.  There are a lot of free/shareware/and programs for sale that do this exact thing.  otherwise you can DIY rather simply.  Go to start, run and type in cmd to get the command prompt (its also under all programs)  then type tracert (trace route) this will allow you to trace ever address that your network runs through basically by sending out a ping that bounces off the network addresses and returns the info.  You have to supply a target address for this to work properly.

Use the same Workgroup and unique Computer name.  Right click on MY COMPUTER and pick PROPERTIES.  Go to the Network Identification section and set these. \n\nLook for the other computers in the Network Places section.  I would RIGHT CLICK on Network Places, and pick EXPLORER.  Then open the icon for Entire Network.  \n\nIn general, you will have no problems POKING into your Windows 98 computer, since security is really lacking.   But you might have to ADD your Account and Password and add sharing permissions on your Windows 2000 computer. \n\nGood luck

You are going to have to be much more specific in your question.  Are you referring to a LAN operating system, just connecting a few PC's together, or a multi-user application software (and in this case, what application?)
