Hey, I recently found out how to shutdown another's computer using yours at school with command prompt and when I tried it, it didn't work. Here's the code: shutdown -i and when I click on browse, it says that the server is unavailable. And here at my school, we login to the network using an assigned 5 digit lunch number and a random password. We technically don't have an actual username to login with. I also learned how to send messages to another computer using command prompt and that doesn't work either: msg [/ persons lunch number] [/message time] [/message] and when I run the code, it says that the lunch number (or username) doesn't exist or has been disconnected. And I also learned how to bypass school web filters: ping mywebsite.com that doesn't work either. Thanks.

Jump to PostUm, okay, so you learned three things that do not work. Congratulations?
Jump to PostOk, so you are telling us not to trust youtubes videos posted by amatuers.
Jump to PostYou must have proper network connection (workgroup) among the computers in your network.
So check out whether the LAN connection is proper or not and workgroup is created or not.
Then you could send messages and all...
Jump to PostI doubt school network administrators are stupid enough to leave their networks wide open for students to screw up. If you get access denied it's because network admins aren't dumb enough to let you do what you are attempting to do.
