Send popup messages to Windows users
Authored by: kevsteelio on Feb 26, '04 10:25:06AM

My question is about Sending to another Mac through MacXPop. I have a 3 computers doing jobs and when they are done with each job they send a message to my Mac telling me the job is done. One PC and 2 other macs. on the macs, I have thems set up to send like this

"smbclient -M THEODORE -U SIMON
Current Job Finished"

That isn't quite how I have it written out, but anyways, when ever I send a message from a mac using the -U option, I never actually get a name. for instance I send from -U GOD and the MacXPop window says

Message From: ___D__________

Even If I don't send it with a -U, I end up with __________ and not my NETBIOS Name for my mac.

Whats UP???
