O.P. How to send a network message to all LAN clients?
Hello all :)

I have a D-Link Wireless Router model DSL-2640T, connected to one desktop computer via cabled LAN, and two laptops connected via wireless LAN.

I have a question, how can i send a short msg to the network users "like those ones used to be sent via MS-DOS?"

What are the MS-DOS commands anyways?

Thanks ! :)

The syntax of this command is:


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



C:\>

I'm pretty sure that this will not work unless you and the other users are logged in on a Windows domain.

works without a domain too, but I think the service is usually disabled by default.

NET SEND * Hi There!

The Messenger Service is no longer supported from Windows Vista and Windows Server "Longhorn".

NET SEND * Hi There!

enabled by default if using sp1 or earlier
sp2 disables the messenger service
NB mcafee internet security and probally most other firewalls do block the port or what ever so sometimes it won't work
there are also netsend guis around
