net send

I tested your theory about ip addresses, MsMittens :) (using them in place of a user or computer name) and it didnt work. do you know any reasons why? Here is an example of the code i used:

Code:

---

net send 178.198.60.1 hello

---

(fake ip address)

did not work! Any suggestions? :confused:

I used to get an error message whenever i did that in my LAN but it started working after I enabled Messenger service. Check out the jpg that striek has put up.

Getting a 2wire router is cool.It has it's own firewall.It will also allow you to connect 50 computers on it (wireless,ethernet,usb or HPNA).
