@Varu - Ill save you from surfing the net
I know it all, Networkign GURU !!!
net <-- this is a command
i guess you guys try out this comand, it got lot of thinsg, you can know your computer name, the shares etc etc
if you pass first command line arguement as send
so with the help of that command you can send messages to another computer conencted in the lan.
Syntax :
NET SEND
{name | * | /DOMAIN[:name] | /USERS} message
I think most of you wont understand that
ill explain int.
eg : net send IP "your message here"
this will send the specified message to the IP address.
eg: net send PC_HOST_NAME "your message here"
This will send message to the specified PC_host_name
eg : net send * "your messsage here"
this will send the message to all the hosts connected in the lan with the same subnet (DOMAIN)
eg: net send /DOMAINC_HOST_NAME "your message here"
this will send message to the specified host in the specified name
To use this net send features, you will have to enable the MESSENGER service.
The messenger service is by default enabled in winxp, while its disabled by default in winxp sp2. Correct me if i am wrong.
To enable the messenger service START > RUN > SERVICES.MSC
in there find for MESSENGER right click it > properties, and set the STARTUP TYPE to AUTOMATIC.
or alternatively you can start it manually by start > run > cmd > net start messenger
and stop it by net stop messenger
Extra :
net share <-- shows a list of all the shared folders / drives
net localgroup <-- to know all the groups of users
net user <-- list of users
net use <--- you can map a network drive using this command

I dont think net send will work across the internet. But yes, if you still want, then you can create a VPN with the two pc's on the internet, and then you can use net send to send message to the other pc

@Varun, we will try VPN next month. I am in short of bw for this month.
my 2.5gb is going to complete soon
Next month,fresh quota, we can give it a try -
You are not wrong,
Let me 1st clear out the basics.. there are two types of cmds, internal and external... Internal cmds are defined in the command.com, where as external cmds are small utility programs that are called using their name in dos...
So even if i write iexplorer, it can be called a cmd, because it is a utility prog that i m calling...
now how does it works??
We have a path in Dos, ie we define some areas of the harddisk where Dos can search for the executable files that we call, by default windows, system32 etc are in path....
Now when we write a name of the exe file, 1st it is searched in the command.com then in the search path that is defined.. when it is found it gets executed or else dos will say no such cmd found....
So iexplorer and mozila are all coming under this path, so when you write their name, they get executed... similar way you can find lot more to execute, like the best one i use is MSDEV to execute the VC++ program...
now find lot more like this...

choice /c:1347q /T:q,15 "Select Choice"
what does that q,15 mean man ? I have understood the rest of the code. I have done a lot of batch scripting on that errorlevel and how it works, so it wasn't hard for me to understand that part. -
Looks like we need to discuss more on batch files. .so i have started a new thread specifically for the batch files.. we can disscuss all the details of the batch files, give out codes for the batch files, i have some where around 12 good batch files, and solve queries....
You know where to find the link
So come and discuss more on the batch files over there...
