"net send" error

[HMO Fallen Angel]

Hi all,
I didn't have problems before, but since 2 months ago, each time I use the
net send user command, i have problems with some users.
I'm getting the error :
An error occurred while sending a message to USERXXX
The message alias could not be found on the network.
More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 2273.

Before i didn't have problems, I have double checked those computers and all
have the messenger service set to automatic and hass already started.

Any idea on what's going on?

Try sending the message from one of the affected machines
to itself.

Ok, finally i could try and it worked. I mean, if i send a message one of the
affected computers to itself it works.

i guess i didn't explain myself.
I tried again sending a net send message from one of the computers (which
doesn't receive net send message) to itself and it works this way, but if i
send a net send message from this computer to other computers it won't work,
nor if i send "net send " from other computer to this one.
this is happening with serveral xp computers and they were all working fine
before with net send... any ideas?
