If I recall correctly…it’s net send _computername_ _message_ I _think_ that the receiver computer has to be on the same subnet as the sender as well, but don’t quote me on that. ---

^^^Who are you?^^^ An alternative option would be…if you know the persons user name…thats a lot easier…that way you don’t goof and send it to a computer that they aren’t logged on to…net send PSxlogic blah blah. I made the mistake of sending it to a computers ip once that one of my friends was USUALLY on in high school just to find out that it was a teacher there :doh: ---

Type “services.msc” in Start\>Run (or go to services from Computer Management (before xlogic throws it out there 😃 )). Start the “Messenger” service in the list of available services that appears. The service must be running on both the sender and receiver, obviously. ---

[quote] No Start button in DOS[/quote[ Uh…I kind of doubt he’s running DOS as a primary OS. He’s likely running this from command line from Windows. 🙂 ---
