" NET SEND " is making me crazy !!!

Hi frnds, i just learned abt ths new utility of cmd i.e NET SEND - to send message across LAN or Internet ........ but now this utility is making me crazy these days .

As u all know that we are always in a LAN of our ISP ....and i want to contact all these workstatons on workgroup domain coz i know that all these computers belongs to my society only and we can be frnds through LAN ......
then one day i came across this utlity of cmd through which machines can send msgs to diff. machines in a network if their messenger service is ON ....
NOW i'm getting a bit impatient b'coz i know i can transmit msg to the network but NO one can recieve it ....coz their messenger service is Disbaled ..... :???:

So is there in any method through which i can make them see my msg ??

nice. . i'm using this for ages

Then what are u waiting for .....can u share that secret wth mee [

]

what parameter are you using to send the msg?

well nothing much .... simply :

net send * " my message "

Else whatever i do it always endup with some error/system error which gives me a error no. ans sometimes tell me to type NET HELPMSG error no.

It was purposefully disabled by microsoft.

Because, net send <ip-address> "message" Works too.. So Insta-Spam

That's why i'm asking for some alternative ...also how is it possible for me to know some-one ip-address if still that machine is in same network as i am ??

if it's possble then plz let me know or what else i can do ??

I think i'm done with it ...coz i'm finding noway out of this problem ......

My frnd told me that
net send <ip-address> "message" Works too.. So Insta-Spam

but the fact is i'm still not able to send messages over LAN ( even if Port 135 is open ) ......

Did messenger service must be enabled on dest. machine even if PORT 135 is open

Hi

Yes, Messenger service must be enabled in the reception PC too. By default Microsoft has disabled this from starting in SP2.
I think u can tell every1 in ur society to startup this automatically so that any1 can send messages.

From run type services.msc and for the Messenger service ,make the startup type automatic .This should work

suppose i have to send message to my internet friend , i have his ip and messenger service running . what's the syntex

PS : he i not over LAN

nor am i

P

messenger service must be enabled

U cant not use Net send for out of subnet So its not possible as u said

It works on LAN, Router drops broadcast packet of messenger service

The syntax for net send is

net send 'ip address' 'message' without quotes

eg. net send xxx.xx.xx.xx hello

Thank U pramod !! i was of same view too BUT is there any way i'm still able to send any type of msg or anything to other PC ...now i'm thinking abt any HAcking procedure ( if it exists ) ??

and yaa r u sure we can send msgs through NET SEND over internet too ??
and if yes ...the how can we send a msg to a machine under a network ( i mean under a proxy) ??

Hi,

There are some hack tools but they are detected by all the anti-virus as trojan backdoor . So that is difficult to use.

go to command prompt and type only net send. You will be able to see the exact syntax.

For sending messages through the internet you need to know the ip address of the receiver.

Hey thanx guys !!!

Atlast now my conquest to know something abt net send is reaching it's first base .....but i knw i have to go far ahead

Thanx to all who contributed in this thread to give their valuable suggestons
