I have a brief question for whoever might know...
I'm familiar with sending little popups with "net send" in
the command line over a network, but is it possible to
send one over the internet (like using the IP or
something)? Sometimes my wife is online and I need to
send her a message telling her to disconnect.
And, if so with an IP, is there a way to find out
someone's IP (like if I know the connection ISP or
something)?

Please email me with replies as I cannot monitor this
forum.
Thanks!

You may use IPs to net send. Net send is running over NetBIOS and hence is
using at least ports 137-139. It's not safe to open these ports over the
Internet, hence I would rely e.g. on emails or IM.
