Code:
NET SEND
{name | * | /DOMAIN[:name] | /USERS} message


If you have a computer on the same network (domain) named "michaelsoft", you can send a message like:

net send michaelsoft "Stop reading forums, get back to work"

However, it does not work always. E.g. some applications seem to block the windows message popup (never could find out which and why). I'm also not sure if this command supports IP adresses.

You can shutdown this 'message service' in windows, that's why it usually doesn't work.. A good administrator (in a school... ) would disable this. To send a message using the same smb protocol from a linux command line you can use smbclient -M (if I remember correctly).. The receiving machine should probably be a windows machine though.
