I was wondering if it would be possible to have a computer act like a peripheral on a rednet network and have itself set up so you can edit the programs on it on a different computer? Thanks for the help!

The short answer is "not exactly".

That is to say, computers act like peripherals over wired networks, but nothing acts as a peripheral over a wireless one. Even with the cables setup, you don't get remote drive access. That sort of thing has to be coded manually.

Sounds like nsh is what you're after.

Type nsh host on the computer you want to control. If you don't know its ID, type id. Go to the computer you want to control it from. Type nsh <id>, replacing <id> with the id of the first computer.

nsh will use a modem on any side, not just the top. What made you think it only worked with modems on the top side?

Whenever I used it it only seemed to work on the top but the owner of CCU2 helped me and it was just a server issue
