yes, it's possible
In case of windows xp you can use "net send". Only ip address is required for this.

I think the Apple Bonjour Service do that thing quite efficiently. Also there are some real good tools in linux too; for example Avahi in GNOME.

If u are sticking with Windows then use the previous methods told here. Or u can install Bonjour for Windows from Apple. :smile:
