do you mean something like command line net messaging? are you looking to just send a quick pop-up message to another user on the network?

 

[willsko87]

if so use net send from cmd

net send [ip or computer name] [message]

Ex: "net send 123.145.123.12 hello

yeah it does the same thing to me. I've heard over and over that net send works, but i have yet to personally see it work. i'll post a thread on it
