Messages over a network?

[lastig21]

Does anyone know how to send a message over a lan connection? All of the computers are using Windows 2k pro. I've seen people type in "netsend" at the command prompt, but I didn't pay enough attention to know how to use it. Thanks for your help.

The command you're referring to is:

net send <computer name> <message without quotes or other delimiters necessary; multiple words possible>

~Ladi

<edit>Ladi beat me.. yes computername works also </edit>

the basic command is

net send username message

for example net send joeuser this is a test <enter>


hope that helps
