Sending "pop up" messages to peer machines

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have an FC7 box running some basic things like e-mail etc.

The LAN is basicaly made up of that machine and a handful of Windows (2000 and XP) machines. I am also anticipating adding an Apple Mac machine to the mix, as well as a Linux laptop.

I want an application on the FC7 box to send a "pop up" message to all the other machines on the network.

In researching "net send <bios-name> <text>" I discovered a program like WinPopup is needed on the windows machines... further investigation into that looks like it's old information, pertaining to Windows 3.1, 95 and 98, explicitly NOT supported in Windows NT... and I'm assuming Windows 2000/XP.

The question is... how do I make my FC7 box "aware" of all the other machines on the peer network so it knows who to send messages to?

Is there some sort of broadcast I can send out like a "OK, sound off...." and all recipients of that broadcast respond with a "OK, my name is ..." (or just having the IP address would probably suffice)

Then I can send the message to each device that replied...

Anybody have any pointers/suggestions?

Thank you
