i made a program that would interact with other players in multiplayer the problem is that the wireless modem signal only goes 64 blocks is there a way with computercraft to grab the program and send it again

Yes, this is possible. The simplest (and worst) approach is to have a repeater that simply rebroadcasts any packet it receives. There are better solutions, like LyqydNet.

LyqydNet is a networking API. There are a few others around as well, but I can't remember their names offhand.

Yeah - have you looked at the Modem API? Look it up on the wiki. Are you the same person who suggested Wireless Towers?

EDIT: No, you're not.
