net.exe

[crazychicken]

i noticed the "send" parameter is missing in the win98 version of net.exe.

w/ 2k and xp you can do "net send IP message"

this, however, does not work with 98.

i tried copying the exe from 2k and using it on 98, but it doesn't work

lmk if you know how to do it

thanks

Windows 98 doesn't support sending or recieving net messages. There is a program however (that ships with OS) that you can start, that will enable you sending messages over LAN.

something besides winpopup?

I'm sure there are programs out there that do the same thing.

If you want to write one yourself, look up the NetBIOS Session service and SMB (now CIFS). Specifically, look up the SMBSendS request. It's not that difficult to create a client that would d the same thing.

The problem is win98 doesn't have any kidna server that listens for request. You'll need to write one. Otherwise, use winpopup, which acts like a server.
