EDITED VERSION!

I decided that I would like to add an extra level of security by making sure that the PC does not leave the offices of the place the PC was intended to be used.

I decided that I would do this with a type of proximity detector, using RedNet.

This is the HOST computer's view. The computer would be run by a network admin.

It will produce an error "expected number".
Why is this?!

Here is the code I have:

Help, please!

Considering you don't have any loops, I don't see how that 'break' could possibly work.

Also, note that 'decode' is a number and read() returns a string - you'll probably want to tonumber() your read call.

Thanks both of you! I found that the correct way is

tonumber(read("*"))

I edited it to be a different question related to the same topic. Any answers?

[KingofGamesYami]

Which line does the error occur on?

[Anavrins]

Line 3, you didn't specify an ID for rednet.send

You can also remove the tonumber(id) since rednet returns a number for the id and you aren't capturing the output of tonumber() for use anyway.
