Hmm...I was just wondering if its possible to gain access to a network from a remote computer if all you know is the IP address of one of the computers that runs the network? or something like that...The reason I want to know is because my friend runs a network for a business and he wanted to see if anyone could do that so he could know if he needed to add extra security to it...I told him I would ask here so if anyone knows the answer (yes or no) please post it here. Thanks :D
me smells a freeagent again - well a wannabe perhaps(!?) :D

You need more than an IP address to hack into someone's box, but getting the IP address is the first step towards breaking in. I sure hope you're telling us the truth about it really being your "friends" box, or else we might get really mad.

Not to be mean or anything but why do you think im lying??? why the heck would i lie??? please dont imediately think someone is lying because they ask a question remotely relating to hacking/cracking something...Thanks :cool:
If you rephrase your question into what steps can I take to help my friend secure his computer from hackers you'll most likely get a little more help.
If the computer in question is on an internal network (ie. not directly connected to the internet), then first you'd need to find out what the IP of the gateway for the network is. Everything beyond that should be obvious.
