Hullo there,am terribly confused as to why net send does not work with win9x clients .When i use "net send " on the network only NT technology computers recieve the message .Is it possible for Win9x clients to recieve this message too?
Will be delighted when helped out?

Nope, the Win9x line (95,98,ME) does NOT support the Messenger service, so no Net Send messages to them.
You need a 3rd party app to make this work.
Here is one to try:

That's right, Windows 9x clients do not have a Messenger service by default. I think that you should have Winpopup already installed (it comes with the operating system, I believe), so all you woul dneed to do is put a shortcut to it in the startup folder - and tell your users not to close it, so they can receive messages from you.
Hope this helps.
