Oh and if the user on the other end has a NAT router this will effectively block the pop-up getting to the target PC
Net Send is a TCP message carrier and its boundary is as big as its collision domain and/or its logical domain. These messages aren't forwarded across the Internet's routers. On your internal LAN however if you were to send out the command:
net send * Wasssssssssuuuuuuuuuuupppp
It will be receive and processed by every listening pc in its domain that is running the messenger service, even if it crosses routers (unless they shut it off) as long as they are in the same namespace.

TooKoolKris think you will find net send will work nicely (or not so nicely as ShineOn says) across the internet as long as nothing blocks it, did it myself a few months pre and post disabling it on friends PC to show him how it works, and how turning it off prevented further pop-ups.
Of course using * uses the broadcast address, so will therefore never get very far outside your own network, however a targeted net send will work unless blocked.
