What do i need to know to IM through Command Prompt?

Question

i know there is a way to im other computers on the same network, i just dont remeber what i need to do, and what i need to know in order to do that.

Answer 1

Netsend /domain:computername message

pops up on that computer.

This is not an instant message program; winpopup use to be the instant message program for intranets but is now dead as of windows ME.

Answer 2

It's called the Net SEND command. It's not really an IM since the messaging is one-way and the messages come up as dialog boxes.

This is how you use it:

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

This no longer works with Vista or on XP computers with the messenger service or winpopup disabled.
