Network Sending
Me and my brother are on a linksys wireless LAN
i need a way to have something such as a message box pop up on his screen without him having to load anything himself.
The goal is basically to have a messge box with the message "Dinner Time" pop up on his screen, but if there is any better means to convey that message then they would work too

Re: Network Sending
This is how I'd send you the message if we were on the same network and you were logged on as "notquitehere188"
text1.text="Dinner Ready!!!"
retval = Shell("net send notquitehere188 " + text1.text, 0)
I know it works on WinNT and Win2k.
HTH

Re: Network Sending
send it to everyone
NET SEND * "test"
if it doesn't work, then there may be a firewll issue. it didn't work for me either, as my AV system is prolly stopping it.

Re: Network Sending
LOL - yep that worked. Always wondered how to do that. That needs a bit more research my end. Many thanks for the pointer.
