Network Pop-Up Messages May Be Sent to the Wrong Machine (102567)
The information in this article applies to:

When using Windows NT, network pop-up messages sent to a user name
instead of a machine name may not go to the machine that you expect.
CAUSE
If you are signed on to multiple machines with the same user name, a
network pop-up message sent to your user name goes to the machine that
you logged on to first. All other machines that you log on to with the
same user name are unable to register the user name because it is
already in use on the network. However, since machine names must be
unique, a network pop-up message sent to a specific machine is
received by that machine.
