there's a messaging service that gets run by (i believe) win 2000 and XP through which you can get lovely spam I suppose you could use it for its actual intended purposes, too... but i turned it off on my windows machine due to the spam messages i got when connected trhough dialup.

yeah.. never spam the entire domain...
just pick the ip... say you want to send it to the ip 192.168.0.23... You do this by sending the message to the broadcast ip which sends it from there... e.g.: net send 192.168.0.255 message just replace the last digit with 255 /note I am joking.. don't do this.

just a note, in place of the ip, you could actually use the name of the computer as well
net send <computer name> <message>

I would suggest using realpopup http://www.realpopup.it It works great as an alternative to winpopup. It does NOT use the windows messenger service (and will ask to disable it) so you don't have to worry about netsend among other things.
Hope this is what you are looking for. |
