Product Description:

Samba Message allows you to send a message to any Windows computer on your network. It first scans for all Samba share points and then displays their IP, NetBIOS name, and Workgroup. Even if you don't need to send messages, this can be handy for finding the IPs of all the Samba shares. Please note that your Mac must be part of a Windows network to make use of this application.
This application was tested on a Windows network where it worked as expected. However, it may not function properly on all networks. The only way to solve these problems is to contact me at macmage@maccrafters.com.

Shares are shown as they are found.

I discovered that the smbtree command that Samba Message uses seems to be available in 10.3 only.

There's a freeware messenger program that works with Windows and OS X, but doesn't seem to be listed on VersionTracker: it's here, and seems to work perfectly:

The name is "IP Messenger" - don't confuse it with spam software that has similar names.

The program that accepts these messages in PC's (WinPopup or something rather) is often disabled because of spams being sent through this method. If it doesn't work, the computer you are trying to send a message to must have removed or disabled the program.
