Network Neighborhood is the first place to look.\n\nIf you're concerned about someone spying on you, you should check all the icons in the System Tray (bottom right of screen by default). The only software you won't see is super-secret keylogging software that is used to spy on employees. They write that so it's invisible.

I would suggest Activity Monitor. It is a real time PC monitoring system. It has two parts, client and server. The great thing about it is, it can be installed remotely to PCs in LAN (Win NT/2000 and XP).\n\nIt is able to log keystrokes, Screens, every thing. Any program canbe run or close remotely by it. Reports r also great.\n\nI think this is the one u r looking for.\n\nHope ur sons r not doing anything wrong.\n\nAll the best.

Find yourself a port scanner.  You can get one that will allow you to scan the PC, find out what it's called (host name/netbios name) and even give you the username of anyone logged in to it.\n\nI just did a quick search and found one called Angry IP Scanner.  It will do all the above.  Should be enough to provide you with the clues you need.  http://www.angryziber.com/ipscan/

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

We can't find the remote system's IP ...but we can find the system's IP by giving the command  " ipconfig " in ur "RUN" -> "CMD" ...\n\nbetter use the " ipconfig /all" to know all about the lan configuration

I suggest you LOOK@LAN it's a very good network scanner. It deeply scan your LAN and list all computers with all active services on them.

If it's remote access/control you're looking for, I'd recommend LogMeIn FREE (www.logmein.com) or GoToMyPc (www.gotomypc.com) Both of these services will install a small application in your taskbar that can detect when your IP changes - so you never have to worry about not being able to access your remote PC because of an IP switch.  \n\nI use LogMeIn FREE and it's great - only downside is that you can't transfer files unless you pay the monthly fee.  I get around this though remote controlling my home PC and then e-mailing myself any files I need.

The first answer describes an easy way to view the shared folders of the computers on your network.  To view everything on a given computer by name, go to Start -> Run.  Type in &#92;&#92;computername&#92;c$ if c:/ is the boot drive of the computer (usually is).  You'll need an administrative password for that computer.

Microsoft has an application called Remote Desktop Connection that can control other people's computers remotely. Go to Microsoft website and search for that name and download. The app is free.

Sure.\n\nWhen your connected to something, go to your start menu, and click RUN.\n\nOnce you have run open, type "CMD".  This will open the command line.\n\nThen while in command line (This is a black rectangular window).  Inside this window, type "netstat".\n\nFine the port and program that you are looking for, and voila! You got their IP.

That's a pretty general question, but here is one basic test of connectivity: ping.\n\nOpen a command prompt (Start > [All] Programs > Accessories)\nType ipconfig <enter>\nNote the Default Gateway address (e.g. 192.168.1.1)\nType ping followed by the default gateway address then <enter> (e.g. ping 192.168.1.1)\nIf it is successful or not will tell you whether or not you have basic network connectivity.

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.
