Problem sending packages over SMS

Hi

I am trying to send an advertisement over sms to install a package onto some pcs. The advertisement seems to be processing ok but nothing is happening on the pcs which should have the software installed on them

Anyone out there any ideas????

it depends on what kind of advertisement you want to show, could you please be a bit specific? e.g is it in a popup window? or showed on the desktop screen? or viewed with the browser? btw, do your users accept this? commonly, almost all the users dont like such things, hehe. ;)

bbao, she is not talking about commercials.

Jenny, what do you see on the PCs, can you tell that they are indeed receiving the requests?
If so, go to one of them and try to ping back to the SMS server.
Perhaps something has changed in your network since the last time you did this, such that the particular ports used by SMS are blocked?

Hi

The sms admin says that the advertisement is successfully processed but nothing seems to be happening  on the pcs themselves. I have done this before and it worked fine. I think the sms server might need to be rebooted but wanted to know if there are any alternatives.
In the sms admin I can ping the machines and see their c: drives etc.
What exactly do you mean by the sms ports being blocked..........what exactly could I do to check this ?

Thanks!!!
