Maximum PC

Hey i was juust wondering if there is any way to send messages to computers on a network using ms-dos commands. example: at school on a school network
if anyone can tell me that would be great

Syntax
net send {name | * | /domain[:name] | /users} message

Parameters
name - Specifies the user name, computer name, or messaging name to which you want to send the message. If the information that you supply contains spaces, use quotation marks around the text (for example, "Computer Name"). Long user names might cause problems when you use them as NetBIOS names. NetBIOS names are limited to 16 characters, and the sixteenth character is reserved.

* - Sends the message to all the names in your domain or workgroup.

/domain:name - Sends the message to all the names in the computer's domain. You can specify name to send the message to all the names in the specified domain or workgroup.

/users - Sends the message to all users connected to the server.

message - Required. Specifies the text of the message.

net help command - Displays help for the specified net command.

erm... were running windows ME and it says theres no command called SEND

tell me exactly what to write and stuff

PS: our class is over in 5 minutes so tomorrow i will try it out
ty by the way

here is what it says after net help
NET HELP Provides information about commands and
error messages.
NET INIT Loads protocol and network-adapter drivers without
binding them to Protocol Manager.
NET LOGOFF Breaks the connection between your computer and
the shared resources to which it is connected.
NET LOGON Identifies you as a member of a workgroup.
NET PASSWORD Changes your logon password.
NET PRINT Displays information about print queues
and controls print jobs.
NET START Starts services.
NET STOP Stops services.
NET TIME Displays the time on or synchronizes your computer's
clock with the clock on a Microsoft Windows for
Workgroups, Windows NT, Windows 95, or NetWare time server.
NET USE Connects to or disconnects from a shared
resource or displays information about
connections.
NET VER Displays the type and version number of the
workgroup redirector you are using.
NET VIEW Displays a list of computers that share
resources or a list of shared resources
on a specific computer.

Net Send is only on Win2k/XP - and it's easy to stop the annoying popups by disabling the messenger service.
