    Can i chat "localy" with other pc´s via Lan?!!

    Hi there!


    My question is simple, two pc´s, both with XP Pro ( same language versions..i don´t think it matters but.. ), both with internet access ( shared connection ) and both distant from each other.

    Question: Is there a way ( other than using MSN or Irc something like that ), to chat with the other person localy?
    I mean, just using Intranet and without the need of beeing both online..like if they both didn´t had internet and even so, there was a need for them to get "in touch" with each other..


    If windows already comes with the software for that, how can i configurit..if not, were can i get it?


    P.s it doesnt need to be a "voice" or "camera" chat, just simple old "typing mettod"..


    Thanx
    Owmen

    Another kid trying to chat at school. If the msmsgs service is enable I believe you can chat via that. I think the syntax is net_send <target computer> <message>. If the computer has help enabled, take a look there for it.

    -Cheers-


    EDIT: Warning. This may make your teacher think you are a l337 hax0r... so be careful.

    If I'm understanding you correctly, you are both on a LAN/WAN?
    If so, check out:

    start, run, winchat

    click on dial, then type in ip address or computer name.

    If you are not on the same LAN/WAN, then an IM service would be good. Or, let them ssh into a linux box you setup and you can use the linux "write" or "talk" (I believe thats what they are... I use it so seldomly...)
    Quitmzilla is a firefox extension that gives you stats on how long you have quit smoking, how much money you\'ve saved, how much you haven\'t smoked and recent milestones. Very helpful for people who quit smoking and used to smoke at their computers... Helps out with the urges.

    There are some peer to peer chat programs, free and shareware. Here are a couple of links from a google search...
