Net Send command

On some school comps, in the Command Prompt, we would often send messages with it.
Don't worry, my new school has it disabled, and tomorow is my last day.
But I want to send a message to another compuet on my LAN, what all would I need to type?
And if you could put in exactly what I need to type in a code box, it would be appreitiated.

lol i did this at my college, ended up they hadnt disabled it and it went throughout the whole college and supposedly other buildings

tbh there stupid if they've left the messenger service enabled.. luckily its changed now...
think the command is -
net send IP WORKGROUPNAME
so it would be as an example -
net send 192.168.0.1 mshome
i believe thats how its done.

Latest SPs have the Messenger service disabled by default, so it probably won't arrive.

net send <ip/computer name> message

i.e.

net send 192.168.0.1 Hello!
net send computer1 Hello!

net send /? will show you the way.
