for another linux user, you can use write or talk...for windows you'll need to get an application that can communicate with winpopup or messenger. I haven't found a good open source tool to do that yet.

smbclient has net send functionality built it - you can type smbclient -M host -I Sender (where "host" is the host you wish to sen the message to and Sender is the sender as percepted by the receiving host) to send a message.

Using Samba on Linux, we can do a net send to any windows host by using the following command:


smbclient -M [NETBIOS Name] -I [IP Address]

If we do not know the NETBIOS name of the system, we can use the following command to find out:


nmblookup -A [IP Address]
