Send Messages in Local Area Network

By defult, Windows comes with messenger services which allow you to send messages via CMD in a local network area. But Windows didn’t make it enable, you have to enable it manually.

To enable it, go to “start” – “run”, or just press windows key + r, then type services.msc, and of coure press enter key!, you don’t wanna sitting there all day watching your computer huh?hehe.

Services.msc is a computer services management, there you can enable or disable services you desire to active or not, and one of the services which you have to make enable to use messenger in local area network call “Messenger” too.

So, scroll down until you found messenger, and double click it. In “start up type” Change from disable into automatic or manual, then click apply. Click Start on Services status, finally press OK.

Now open Command Prompt (CMD), and you can use net send command to send messanges to another computer. Here is the syntax:

net send [computer name] [messages]

for example:

net send computer18 hay, may I know your name?

computer name is depends on target computer name, you can see it by typing net view in cmd. And ta..ta,, you know her/his name now…. :)
