Microsoft Windows offers a simple method to send the messages to other systems/users on the local network - this is WinPopup messages / Net Send messages ( in Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows 2003 )

Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows 2003


Note: Windows Vista have no Net send command more. Use our Netsend or LanTalk XP.

By default, under the Microsoft Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows 2003, there is no program like the Winpopup. In other words no GUI software to send the messages, only command line tools with net command.


If you need an Windows application to messaging between network computers ( users ), take a look to the LanTalk NET or Net send compatible messenger LanTalk XP.
In the NT systems ( Windows NT - Windows 2003 ), two parts of system are allow you to send/recevie winpopup messages. Net send command and messenger service.

messenger service window


Incoming messages from other Windows systems are displayed in a simple Message box.

Note: There is no need to install anything and no need to start-up any special program, this message notification is always active. If you have not disabled the Messenger service.

To send Winpopup messages ( net send messages ), you need to open a Command Prompt Window ( DOS-box ), and use the NET command with send parameter. To get some more help on available options of the NET command , type : NET ? , for more info on a option, type: NET ? :

net send help


To send a message please trype: net send name_of_user_or_computer the_text

send message


Define the name of a user (which is logged on to the network) or a computer name ( as defined in the properties of the Network ), followed by the message text.

As with Winpopup, the system will check, that the name is valid or not.
But if the receiving system is a Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows Me system and Winpopup is NOT running, then this message will disappear into nowhere.

When sending a message to all systems of a Workgroup or Domain, it will also be displayed on the system which did send out the message :

message received


As mentioned above: Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows 2003 uses the same method (via the NET SEND command ).
Note: the command NET SEND is NOT available in Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows Me.

If you need an console net send command, please try our FREE utility to replace Net Send. Learn more about NetSend command.
