Using winpopup or net send with IP address...

I want to be able to send a single message, using either winpopup or net send, to a user outside of my LAN based on their IP address.

Is this possible? so far I have only been able to figure out how to send it to different computers within my LAN based on a PC or Domain name.

Surely it can be done in some way with an IP address because I'm sure we have all recieved those annoying spam popup messages that come constantly over the internet. Also note, I do not wish to use this to spam other people, only to send a single message to a user/abuser of my webserver whose IP address I have logged.

Thanks all,

-Erik

Code:

---

net send 127.0.0.1 Hey buddy. I'm sending you stupid messages to annoy you BIOTCH!

Right, I have tried this unsuccessfully. But you are correct, this works on most cases. I think my issue is that I am within a LAN and the reciever of the message is also within a LAN (outside of my own). Not sure which or maybe both of these are preventing me from sending a message. I get the error: "the message alias can not be found on the network" or something similar to that.

Any Ideas?

If you are using there internal IP address and you both are on different lans that will not work. Also, if his router isn't set up for DMZ, the port will be blocked so he won't get it.
