You can use netsend, but both pc's must be running the messenger service, check in the computer management, services and applications to check if messenger serive is running. You may need admin permissions to enable it. following link should help

If you use windows 2000 or better, the right click on 'my computer' and use the computer management tool to message the name of the computer. Which wou can set uner the sytem icon in control panel.
Previous versions of windows have win-popup. A small program for the same thing, usually located in the windows, or WINNT folder in the C Drive. Both users must have this program open.
I wouldn't have thought it would be with the ipconfig command, perhaps if you sent a message through DOS to an IP address, but not in any other case.

It can indeed be done using net send (note two seperate words). For more information, open Command Prompt and type 'net send /?' without the quotes.
It's important to note that net send uses the Messenger service* which is disabled by default in Windows XP Service Pack 2. To enable the Messenger service:
1. open Control Panel
2. open Administrative Tools and open Services
3. right click on Messenger and choose Properties
4. in the Startup type dropdown, choose Automatic or Manual
5. click OK
Automatic causes the service to start automatically when Windows starts. Manual lets the service be started and stopped at will by yourself.
*The Messenger service should not to be confused with MSN Messenger, Windows Messenger and so on. It is something completely different.

yes you can...i assume other users are on the same wireless LAN as you are...the thing is tht the domain or workgroup should be common or on same LAN and trusted...you can send it using NET SEND, WINPOPUP or from Windows NT Server Manager...

yes u can
u must know its pc name
this works on LAN but not dont know about wireless
open DOS prompt and write this message
net send "name of pc" "message"
insted of "name of pc" use pc name
insted of "message" write message
i think this would work

I talk to my wife everyday and she lives in Japan. Just add the person to your buddy list and start talking.
