    I would like to monitor the screens of different computers on our home network and was wondering if this is possible?
    Also i would like to send messages to other computers.
    Thanks
    Rhys

    I think you can use Remote Desktop if you have a internet connection...

    You can send messages if you can install IP Messenger in your network.

    One, you just need a network.
    Two, this is just a note, if you want to not disconnect the current user to see the screen, Remote Desktop is not what you want. On account of Remote Desktop has to log off the current user.
