Messenger

[Daniel]

How do I use Messenger to send a message to other computers on my network?

Thanks for your help,
Daniel

net send computer_name message text
or to send to all computers:
net send * message text

Do a search for 'net send gui' to find graphical clients.

Find a couple here with source code.

Did this answer your question? Please identify what "messenger" you are using.

since we're on the topic,
i've been looking for starting sources to make a messenger progam (just to use on my lan at home). I don't like windows messenger because of all the crap that comes along with it...anyway, does anyone (ober?) recommend some open source code for this? examples? links? thanks, i've found some stuff but I don't like the way it was done. Peace.

Umm... I wrote one in VB a while ago but I'm not sure what I did with it. I'll see if I can dig that up or maybe find one on the net.

In order of how I would rate them:

All have the source code and should work as is, most likely. I didn't test any of them, but they are from reputable sources. And those are just VB examples. I'm sure there are C/C++ examples too.
