[Guest]

Hi, i've just installed a home network and want to ask something about
instant messaging from a user on one computer to another user on another
computer on the network. Is this possible? I've noticed that if you press
ctrl+alt+del there is a tab titled 'users'. On it there is an option to 'send
message' but i cant get this to work. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,

Start/run cmd

type "net send /?"

This is the basic tool for sending messages. If you search a bit, you will
find many, many free "lan chat" programs.

Microsoft Windows XP ships with a GUI chat application named
WinChat (winchat.exe) that may meet your needs. For more
