Hi all,

I have a client with 4 PCs networked in a peer-peer network. 3 are Win98, 1 is WinXP.

They need a simple pop-up messaging mechanism where one user can send a quick message to another user by having that message pop up on their screen.

I have something like this somewhere but can't remember where.

Any help would be appreciated.

thanks
Nate

Two ways:

1) use the 'net send' command from the command prompt (type 'net send /?' for the syntax)

2) Go to Start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Computer Management. Right Click on Computer Management(Local), All Tasks, Send Console Message

Here's a link to a GUI applet for NetSend:

If that is not what you are looking for, look through the network tools at www.nonags.com
