LAN Messaging

[mcp6453]

There used to be a way that I could send a message to another computer
on my LAN, using Windows 98. How can I send a message to another
computer with no action required to receive the message? Winchat is
neat, but Network DDE has to be running on both computers, and the
recipient has to have Winchat open also.

You can use the command "net send". Make sure the "messenger"
service is running on the receiving machine.

I agree with 'Net Send'. You can specify an IP address or the entire
network, but if it isn't working check the MESSENGER service is running (NT
machines only).

He need to have MS winpopup started on recipient's machine. The
messenger service is wrong solution due spam issue.
