First off let me say I am new to the group and VERY new to W2K. I have a small dentist office that has 6 win 98 machines and one W2K. The Dr. had been used to using WinPop to send messages back and forth to his staff. The problem lies in that the W2K machine can recieve the messages but is unable to reply or to generate a new message. Any help will be great.

TIA
Brent

I don't know if there is a better way in w2k but you can use the NET SEND command to send messages to any or all users on the network. If there is a better way I would like to know about it also. The syntax for net send is
net send userid "your message"
to send a message to userid or
net send * "your message" to send to all users. win98 machines must be running winpopup to receive the messages.
