Answer 1

1. Open a console window. Click Start, Run, type "cmd" and hit enter.
2. type "net send " and the computer name or IP address that you want to send the message to.
3. Hit enter.

NOTE: The "messenger" service must be running on both machines, and there can't be any firewalls between them that block that specific traffic.

To send WinPopup messages ( net send messages ), you need to open a Command Prompt Window ( DOS-box ), and use the NET SEND command. To get some more help on available options of the NET command , type : NET ? , for more info on a option, type: NET ? :

To send a message please type: net send recepient_name text_of_the_message define the name of a user (which is logged on to the network) or a computer name ( as defined in the properties of the Network ), followed by the message text.

As with Winpopup, the system will only check, that the name is valid.
But if the receiving system is a Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows Me system and WinPopup is NOT running, then this message will disappear into nowhere.

When sending a message to all systems of a Workgroup or Domain, it will also be displayed on the system which did send out the message :

net send is actually a windows command that you can use from a DOS window, for example go to your Start Button, click Start, click Run, then type cmd in the Open window, this will open up a DOS shell, you'll see cmd.exe,
from there type >net send /name_of_the_computer/"your message"
example: net send /majordude/"what's up dude"

this should work provided "messenger service" hasn't been disabled on your system
