Thanks for the reply, as regards the other machines on that subnet, they should respond to a broadcast, shouldn't they?

Maybe the following will help: Since net send natively uses the netbios ports, it will attempt to contact a wins server to find the IP of the target machine or user. It will then attempt delivery. If you are on a different logical network, there is likely a router involved somewhere. This device will kill broadcasts from one logical network to another. The use of WINS should elmininate the need for your machine to broadcast to the network in order to locate the target machine. As long as every computer is configured to use WINS, it can be very effective.

If I am wrong on this, I would like to know the answer too. I have been trying to do this for a while now.

Sent: Wednesday, October 13, 2004 12:14 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [WhatsUp Forum] WunPopup Question Importance: High I could use some help troubleshooting a win popup issue. My WUG instance sits on a utility server on subnet A. I have configured Popups for 3 workstations that reside on subnet B. I can succesfully send pop ups to the local server, but not any other node on Subnet A or B. In testing this fucntion, I get the message Winpopup Failed, but there is nothing in the event log on the WUG server to indicate why this fails Any thoughts?
