Is this a program that you've written? If so you might want to look into a
Winsock component set like ICS or WinShoes (which was renamed recently I
think, but I forget the new name). TCP/IP is still IMO one of the simplest
ways of communicating between programs across a network, and allows for
things like broadcast announcement, connectionless messaging with UDP, etc.
It also works on all Win32 platforms, while other options (remote named
pipes, RDDE, etc) either aren't supported under Win9x or are at best
difficult to implement.
If you didn't write the program yourself you might have to write a server
style app that acts as the middle man, fielding data from the remote program
and runs a program, shows messages, etc.
