Anyone know of a program that will send a message to?

winpopup

Any lan messenger can help you, there are lot of such kind of applications online.

I just recommend tools with support of Windows 7,8. Old winpopup doesn't work anymore, only alternatives.

U can use netsend command for this purpose. netsend is a built in utility from the micro soft.if u want to send message to another computer on same network then go to run- type CMD n enter.when u enter command prompt type there netsend then give a space then type IP address of the other computer give one more space and then type ur message and enter for send the message.

Note: Messanger service of ur computer must be enable and started.

You can send messages to any computer which is connected to your local network using the command "Net send"

The syntax of this command is "net send computername your_message"

To send messgae using this command, open a command promt window and type the command.

You can open command prompt by "Start Menu -> Run". You will get a Run command window now. Type "cmd" and press enter. Now command prompt window will open.

If you get any doubt about "Net send" command, just type "Net send /?". Windows will give you the syntax of the command.

Enjoy yourself with Net send.

Have a nice messaging...!

I think windows xp has that option. I used it before if you go to start>run just type in

msg and then the computer name on the network it should work...

is winpopup still installed on the newer windows Operating Systems?

I remember something like that back in NT, it's probably still there buried int he mess of other phones, or available on some system resource kit. AND..it' sfree

OR..

Jabber can be installed for local networks only..

there is one built in. choose start | run | cmd | netsend* "computer name" message
