Hey! If I have user and pass, how can I connect to another computer on my network from console? I dont need to access a specific share but just 'logged in'. Thanks for reading!

this is probably not the answer you are looking for, but i use realvnc to access pc's over the LAN. i use the free version which works fine for me.

If you are using XP Pro, the native utility for doing this is Remote Desktop.

The computer I'm doing it from is windows XP. I've heard of those before, but I was wondering if there was some command line thing I could do. Maybe some NET .... command?

No.
An interactive logon remotely requires under XP using Remote Desktop or some other similar third-party software.
