Our office is using XP Windows on a Novell Network.

I would like to write some code that checks the status of a job. The
code runs on the C Drive. If there is no output, I want my code to
connect to the computer that is running the job to restart it.

I am not a network guy. My question is, how can I connect to the PC so
my code can access the PC's C Drive. Is there some way to map to that
computer and treat it as just another drive mapping? Is there another
way?

Thanking you in advance

You may have many options. Setup VPN to access the XP c drive. Or use Remote Desktop and map the local drive on the remote computer.
