Command Prompt "net send"

[up-smash]

I'm trying to send people messages through the network....

of course it doesn't work and I get error messages....

I am absolutely positive I have the right ip address and they are on the same work group as I am...

What else do I have to change?

Oh man, I miss doing that sort of thing.

Stupid question, but are there any firewalls up?

 

[up-smash]

definately...

turn em off?

messenger service has to be running as well.

xp sp2 & later turn this service off by default.

spammers like to deliver messages using this service.
