Most Admins disable netsend on the networks.

Try to look at Run -> services.msc -> Messenger and check whether it is disabled on your pc and if its enabled on you pc check on the pc you try to message.

I always thought the snytax was:

net send IP Message

But maybe I'm wrong.

Yes I looked in the services.msc and found it. Thanks a million now I won’t have to walk all the way to the other office to say “Hey man you got a call on line 1”. I appreciate this…

here's a small tut (it's small because net send has not much options anyway):

make sure to disable it again before accessing the internet, else you'll receive a lot of crappy spam messages...
