Winpopup is a lot easier to use....

 

[Croton]

so if i have a computer on my network, and the computer's name is AMOS, how can i find the IP ...
or can i use net send to do that?

txh

You don't need the IP to do net send. You can just type "ping AMOS" and hit enter. That will give you the IP of that computer, though.

............ Type winpopup, and enter AMOS as the computer name.

Oh and winpopup doesn't work (says it isn't a valid command), though net send does work.

I am using WinXP pro

If you have the computers name (net bios name) you dont need the IP address.
Just type net send Amos message and hit enter.

Winpopup is Win9x only, I believe.
