    Command Line Tool

    You can send to any of the targets from the command line.

    1. Start a MS DOS or Command Prompt (Start, Programs Accessories or Start, Run and type cmd)

    2. Type

    net send <username> "Message text"

    (including the " ")

    For example, if you wanted to send a message to Andrew saying "come here I have the answer" you would type:

    net send Andrew "Come Here I have the Answer"

    3. Press enter to send the message.

    Notes:

    1. The <username> in this case is the computer name or the network ip address of the machine you want to chat with.

    2. This is also all assuming Windows Messaging Service is ENABLED. To make sure this is the case goto Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Services and then scroll down to "Messenger" and make sure it is enabled.

    have fun chattin with hotties across the room in your school's computer lab lmfao!

    Send Message To Ip Address

  • 2 decades ago

    net send, followed by the ip adress or computer name then the message you want to send!

    For example if the computer name is c447 (in the local network) and you want to send Hello world type net send c447 Hello world!

  • To send Winpopup messages ( net send messages ), you need to open a Command Prompt Window ( DOS-box ), and use the NET command with send parameter. To get some more help on available options of the NET command , type : NET ? , for more info on a option, type: NET ? :
