    I'm assuming that, by "online", you mean "has an active, available connection to the internet"

    1. you need to look into network programming

    2. yes.

    Thanks for the links!

    I don't have permission to access that page (network programming)

    Could you navigate me through CSU Chico's webpage to the page I need to go?
    The direct link doesnt seems to work...
