If I have many clients connected and I have all the clients are listed in a TLISTBOX or in COMBOBOX and I just want to select one of them and send the command. So you build your combobox, wait 10 seconds, one client disconnects, all the clients numbers reduce by one and your combobox is out

That's why you need a server socket listening at each client computer. Every time the a client computer starts, connect to the Server computer and introduce himself. Hey, my name is Earl and I'm listening to your commands at this Address. I will report to you any errors occurring here. With

Hi Angus, You probably only want to send a reboot PC command once... Yes, commands (just few) will be sent real seldom (once or twice in a week). Communication will be made mostly by the client ans server will respond by doing very small things. It is actually faster to use FClientNo as
