windows messenger service?

How can you use a windows messenger service in a LAN? Can someone help me with this.. Im still new. How can I use the Windows messenger service?

If I rember correctly open up the command prompt and type the following
net send {name | * | /domain[:name] | /users} message
or just go to the command prompt and type net help for more command options

if you are talking about Microsoft Messenger, Use Netmeeting. It has all features you need (including instant messages) and works on a windows intranet.
To easy find guys on network, u must activate an "directory service", a catalog that allow netmeeting find all people. You dont need to use AD to do that. There are free *nix software to do that.

net send * " www.pureehosting.com rocks! " , that will send your message to all users, all domains on your network. This is a great attention getter, or just to let people know that there will be maintenance, or something, works like a charm.
