XP built in Messenger

[Guest]

I am not talking about Windows Messenger

In XP there is a messenger service running that can be used to send direct broadcasts to an ip address. This is the feature that spammers use to send pop ups..
Now my question is, in XP, which program can I use to actually use that service, to actually send a little text message to a user on network. How is it addressed....through IP address only?

I believe you use the "netsend" command.

Start - run - CMD

The syntax of this command is:


NET SEND
{name | * | /DOMAIN[:name] | /USERS} message


Sends messages to other users, computers, or messaging names
on the network. The Messenger service must be running to receive messages.

You can send a message only to a name that is active on the network.
If the message is sent to a username, that user must be logged on
and running the Messenger service to receive the message.

name Is the username, computername, or messaging name
to send the message to. If the name is a
computername that contains blank characters,
enclose the alias in quotation marks (" ").
* Sends the message to all the names in your group.
/DOMAIN[:name] Sends the message to all the names in the
workstation domain. If name is specified, the
message is sent to all the names in the specified
domain or workgroup.
/USERS Sends the message to all users connected to
the server.
message Is text to be sent as a message.

You can get this by going to start - run - CMD, then typing in net send
/help.

Greetings --

From the command prompt, "net send [username] Your Message."
It'll even work if you use Start > Run > "net send [username] Your
Message."

For more options and the correct syntax, command prompt: "net send
/?"

By the Command Prompt 'net send' command.

In a Command prompt window give net send /? to be told the syntax
