DOS commands
Recently in computer programming class we have been messing around with command prompt over the network such as
"netsned 225 and hen a message" which sends yer message to that computer or "netsend /domain and then the message" send it over the network My question is why can only certain people recieve the messages and certain can only send id like to fix it and I was wondering if there where any other commands to mess around or mess with people. |

Because many people smartly disabled the windows messenging client for that exact reason--they dont like people send them crap. Believe it or not, there has been quite a bit of spam sent to the windows messenging client. All of my machines have it disabled.
And no, theres nothing you can do about it, and personally, I dont think you should be messing around and annoying people, it is childish, and--like you said--annoying.

I actually had a practical use for the messenger service when I was doing build management. Our codebase was so large that we had a build system run over night and it would send a message to the developer if their build failed. I suppose it is annoying getting those popups on your screen, but I figure, that's what you get for checking in code that doesn't compile.

OK, here are a few resons people can't get the message:
1. They're running win9x. you need to run WinPopUp (comes with the OS) to get these net send messages. 2. They've turned off the messenger service (NT/XP). 3. You fat-fingered the net send command. Seriously, if you're off by one on the recipient, your outta luck.

ok lets clean up that syntax
net send [ip | \\name | *] [message] so net send 192.168.1.100 hello net send is a part of the messenger service of windows nt (nt 2k xp ...) if that service is not running, then they will not receive it.

You could make a batch file with the netsend commands in it. Copy and paste the command over and over in the batch file, then all ya gotta do is double click the batch file to send dozens of messages at a time. A guy did it in my computer app class in high school...he made a batch file with 30 netsend commands to each person in the entire class. It was funny as hell; every single person in the class got 30 simultanous instant popups saying various vulgarities.

Pote, I am not a spelling or grammer freak, however, dos commands, like any other programming language, must be specific. As Dilbert showed, be exact. Your post showed a lack of basic spelling skills, er, skillz. IM lingo (yer) is not real world
Learn basic (that's twice, no pun intended) commands before you aspire to create some earth shaking worm, or comedic iframe. |
