I have a netgear router with 5 machines connected to it. Not all the people use MSN so there is no way to contact them unless walking (OMG)...

Is there a way to send messages across IP?

So it pops up on their desktop, using command prompt? Not sure if ''net send'' still works, or how it works on Vista.

Thanks
 
Messenger service was disabled in SP2, enable it again via services.msc, and make sure the windows firewall doesnt block the messages, done.
 
I take it this is net send?

What do you type in to cmd?

net send (ip) message

Thats it?

Also, I can't find something that relates to 'messenger' in services, could it be called something else on Vista? There are only three things disabled and none remote to anything like messaging.
