Ummm.... when I went to school it usually was the librarians who take care of the PCs. Have you simply tried asking someone if you could play with the network, kiddie? Im sure if the peaple in your school really wanted you to play around with things like telnet then they'd tell you how to do it. Most computer rooms in schools have a bunch of PCs hooked into one another with nodes like printers right? Since you have all this tech around you then you should already have 'access' to the network.

Im sure the real meaning of this thread was... "How do I break into PCs so I can sub7 the entire planet?"

And as for all the DOS related things in this thread..... don't schools usually run MACs most of the time?
