The same way you'd access it if it were an ArrayList or
a JButton or a File: You save the reference somewhere and dish
it out to interested parties. There must be two or three jillion
ways to do this; a few of them are
- Make `lanSendThread' a public member of the controller
class (poor choice of name, by the way). You may or may
not want to make that member `final'.
- Make `lanSendThread' a private member of the controller
class, and write a public getThread() method to return it.
- Stash the value of `lanSendThread' in a Map or other data
structure, and "publicize" the data structure and/or
accessors for it.

Keep in mind a thread is busy running its own code. Pretty well
anything you run on that thread is going to be highly disruptive.

"Does not work" is a little unspecific. What error/problem do you get? Can you make a short, complete, compilable example that duplicates the problem?
It should work, must work, even, according to the Java programming language. If there's an issue, it must be with the way you are using it. Please show us.
