Code: 
net send <ipaddress or user or machine> "message"

If u don't know the target machine's ip, u can use the user name which can be found by
Code: 
net view
or
net users

You can broadcast a message by doing:
Code: 
net send * "Anybody want a pizza?"

I had thought that there were only BorgChat & DC++, but never knew there were sooo many.

Now it will take me ages to try all of them
