| 763699 | 2009-04-10 00:31:00 | Friends, We have a home wireless network and I would like to have a little program to let the kids elsewhere in the house know that it is time for them to stop chatting/facebooking/twittering. is there a little program out there that will allow me to do this? After all, as dad, I see myself as the ADMINISTRATOR of my network, haha. Thanks Johan |

| 763700 | 2009-04-10 00:54:00 | look up on google, net send or for 9x users winpopup both come with windows (tcp/ip stack) in any case, you should be able to send to the entire workgroup if all the computers you have are set to the same workgroup (mshome, workgroup or similar) | williamF (115) | ||
| 763701 | 2009-04-10 00:56:00 | Easy-within windows, its called "net send" Go net send /? in cmd to check for more syntaxes/parameters |

| 763702 | 2009-04-10 01:03:00 | There is also winchat by the loooks of it (for XP) Type it under start/run. But some sites say you have to put Network dde, and network dde ddsm on auto, for it to work. Both are disabled BUT some sites also say this can be a security risk, if you enable the above services |

| 763704 | 2009-04-10 01:10:00 | C:\Documents and Settings\william>net send /? The syntax of this command is: NET SEND {name | * | /DOMAIN[:name] | /USERS} message name being the name or ip address of the computer your sending to, try the broadcast ip address x.x.x.255 or 0 |
