hi,

i need to send simple messages accross the LAN. with
the "traditional" LAN, i could do it by using mailslots or
sockets. as far as i checked, the Terminal-Server 2K
cannot set a different IP Address for each client session,
so i can not send a message to a certain session. it
appears that only the first session that is trying to
listen on a certian port, has a success.

is there any other way to send simple messages accross the
LAN?

thanks,
edo.

You can use the Terminal Services "msg" cmd line utility or Terminal Services Manager to send messages to specific 2000 TS sessions

Terminal Services cmd prompt utilitie

In 2003 this functionality is added in Task Manager with the addition of the "users" tab

1. Thank you, it looks like a point to start.
2. i need to do it programmatically. do you know where
these APIs are hidden? any documentaion maybe somewhere?
3. i don't want the client to see a message box. i need,
as a client, to get the message and handle it by myself.
