Okay, so I’m playing with this net send command. I want to send messages to my brother upstairs on the same network. He is on a wireless connection but the same workgroup so it should work. Here is my .bat file that I’m running...

ECHO OFF
NET SEND * hello?
PAUSE

And I get nothing... any ideas?


thanks...

If it's on a workgroup, and not a domain, I've found that it sometimes doesn't work (pass on why though, I don't know). This works though:

Code: Select all

net send /domain:YOURWORKGROUPNAME message
It will of course send it to all machines which are connected to the workgroup, but it does work.

If you're using Windows go press Ctrl + R to launch the Run window. Enter services.msc and find Messenger in the list of services. If it disabled or stopped or something, right click on it and start/enable it.

This is often the cause of Net send not working on Windows machines :)

HAHA.

1. Speak english.
2. Make sure each computer has the Messenger service active. This can be done by right clicking my computer and clicking servies. Then see if messenger is enabled. If not , enable it.
3. Try "net send /domain hello" and see if you get anything. This will send a message to all computers in your network.
4. If it fails, google MS-Dos net send and you will find many tutorials on how to do this.
