is this something that i can do in the browser window, or will i have to use telnet. im tryin to stay away from progs because i know i wont learn the concept and how to prevent it. are there any good white papers on telnet that you know of? also, i was trying to set up a lab (totally different question but i thought it would be a good idea to use the same post instead of make a new one) can i run an http server on linux and network a windows xp computer to it and have it be like a regular web page or server just used for these two computers? i dont know if that makes sense or not.
