hey guys, i have no idea if any of you know wtf im on about. but i was at a mates place the other day and hes got this program that lets you Send a message to the other computer/s on his network anyone know what im talking about ???? Thanks Adam
probably using netsend in a dos prompt. or maybe not, since you said its an actual program. old windows used something called winpopup
is you dont know MSDOS then for the love of god dont touch it You can screw you computer big time if you fool around in msdos
net send in dos as was said before we used it in school till the admin found abusive message sent to them lol, it will only work in a LAN
could be a small program like outlook messenger, we use it at tafe LAN Messenger - LAN Chat Instant Messaging Software
hahah really? how? lol... if yu dont know how to use it then you dont know how to access anything important! lol... Start Run Type "cmd" Then Type "net send /?" Will have a display(syntax) for sending across networks, you need a destination adress(will resolve net bios names). To activate net send server(if disabled): start run "compmgmt.msc" Double click "Services and Applications" Right hand window pane Double Click Services Right Hand Window Pane Find the service called "Messenger" (not related to msn at all) Activate the service Start that service Repeat on other computer Closed circuit MSN will work too...
HAHAHA bs, you can't **** your computer in msdos unless you try to format your drives. Have a look at this program, we used it on our wan for a while. You can run a server or just run it locally. Akeni Jabber Client & XMPP Jabber Web Support
Lol wtf the one I posted costs money?! I never paid for it and I didn't download it illegally this time haha
you can **** your network.... system folders... **** like that but even that cant accidently happen... to format your drives you still need to unmount them anyway... i have never seen anyone screw anything by using a command window. oh and just for the record, MS WINDOWS XP has no "MSDOS" the cmd/command windows are simulated environments. MSDOS was phased out prior to xp's release making XP the primary OS... so the MSDOS window you all refer to is mearly a conolse made to look like MSDOS. MSDOS/Windows used to act like say, gnome does to linux kernals.... a shell almost... its not the same(obviously) but a simlar setup for example purposes. aZk.
yeah like azk said it's not msdos, msdos is the name of the operating system itself. cmd is a command prompt. the only use i've had out of it is for ping, tracert, and ipconfig, and that's worth it's use
Back in the days of 20MB HDD and Windows 3.1 i watched a mate of mine delete the pagefile for a compressed virtual drive to "free up space". Thank god for Undelete
Windows 98 had a program called winpopup, this program allowed users to send messages between computers. It was removed in later versions of windows. The Net Send function can be used from a command prompt within XP, but microsoft disabled the feature in Service Pack 2 because companies were using it for advertising purposes. There is a built in program in Windows XP called "WINCHAT" Click Start ---> RUN ---> Type Winchat --> OK Both computers need Winchat running for you to be able to send messages. You can download several different programs for chatting over a network. One of the popular ones is called LANTALK XP which you can download from Network messaging software LanTalk XP - Winpopup and net send replacement Another is LAN Messenger LAN Messenger, Winpopup Replacement - OfficePopup
