Network Messages

[The Napster]

Hi i was wondering if there is a program that can send a popup message to all computers, or select computers on my entire network without installing additional software on all the pcs. Im running a network with 4 vista pcs and one mac. If the mac isnt supported its fine. I prefer free solutions but if it costs a little its fine.

Net Send.

Net Send command how to, net send help

Might not work if the IT people are good and have disabled this option.

I doubt you can get that kind of connectivity with Vista without additional programs installed.

what's "that kind of connectivity"

NetSend can be used in Vista as well as XP.

Clearly, I don't think that fact was in question. Was it? I just didn't understand what tavic meant by that attempt to sound like he/she knew what he/she was talking about ...
Not trying to sound like a jerk there...but it just didn't make any sense.

I understand that Doc. I was just clarifying that NetSend does work in Vista if the comment was in regards to Vista not being able to send messages over the network.

I dont understand the comment either.
