App Question for windows (ewwww!)

[mviverette]

Sorry bout this my linux geeks, but this is the only place I know of, where there are smart people. So, heres my question...

Is there a program where you can utilize the speakers on all the PCs in the network? I really need this. Thanks.

You could maybe use something like BO or a similar tool to get all the pc's to play a certain sound on a network drive or local drive at a certain time or something like that....

When he says BO, he means Back Orifice (http://www.bo2k.com/) a "remote administration" tool available for Windows. It open source, free of charge and from Cult of the Dead Cow.

I dunno about you, but I wouldn't go round infecting the computers in my network with a nasty potentially damaging trojan that would possibly allow other people access to any part of the network.

But they are windows boxes.. http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif

I am very familiar with BO might I say... Haha I had some good fun in my grade school computer lab with that one... HAHAHA ok, yeah anyways... I dont think I can broadcast MP3 files with that anyways.

Keep it coming... And, mindwarp, they might be windows boxes, but they're MY DAMN WINDOWS BOXES, and I dont want to **** them up ;]

Thanks yo.

Actually, BO isn't any more "damaging" than a telnet server, as long as you're installing it on your own computers. You password it, and there are no back doors (you can check this, because it's open source) so nobody else can get in -- just like any other remote administration tool. Yeah, 99% of the time it's used by lame script kiddies to h4x0r Windows boxes to become 31337, but you can actually use it a genuine remote administration tool.

Anyway... if you were talking about Linux boxes, you could just telnet into them and cat the sound files to their mixer devices. In Windows, look into the various network MP3 jukebox programs -- programs that act as a server waiting for client requests to tell it what song to play. You could adapt one of those to your needs.
