Is there anyway to make a networked PC do stuff from another PC? I have two PC's networked, one is Win95, the other is Win98. I want to know if there is a way to use the Win98 PC to make the Win95 PC do stuff, or the other way around. I am new to networks, so I don't know if I'm nuts, or if this is possible.

No you're not nuts.
Yip there is a solution, VNC- virtual network connection.
Just do a search on google.com and you'l find it.

I tried the search, but all I found was stuff about network connections like virtual private networking.

Tried searching for Virtual Network Computing instead of connection and I think I found what I needed. Thanks!
