AskWoody LoungerAfter some more searching I found RealPopup it is free and so far stable. It has an option to use it instead of XP Network Messaging Service. Basically, it fits the bill, but I’d still like to hear from anybody with suggestions.

AskWoody LoungerThanks for the suggestion, MJ and the link, Leif. The Lite version doesn’t work over a network.
If anyone knows of a good free Winpopup replacement, please let me know.

AskWoody LoungerAha – I see Messenger is a service in XP to send console messages to computers which is totally different to MSN Messengers – or instant messenger which is what the KB article is talking about

AskWoody LoungerLeif, thanks for that link.
I used Winpopup in WinMe and Win95.How do you used Messenger when you are off line?

AskWoody LoungerThanks for your reply, I’ll try what you suggest and post back to the board
The Readme.txt didn’t seem too helpful – it refers me to the manual – but I’ll follow my nose.

AskWoody LoungerMy connection has (touch wood) never dropped off at all – we are able to switch users multiple times. and or log off users. I also use Internet Connection Sharing on some connections and this also does not make any difference. I use XP Pro.

AskWoody LoungerJust to let you know I have never had that problem in XP Pro – even if you completely log off the connection stays there. The only thing I can think of is to check whether the connection is available to all users.
