Haha I'm talking about on school computers. Apparently if you put in type (something) messege it'll work.

All you can do in the command prompt is execute programs. If there's a program in the command prompt that can communicate over a network, then yes you can.

There are many character mode programs that allow you to communicate across networks using the DOS command window. Only a few are included with windows for diagnostic purposes but many more may be downloaded.
ping and tracert are network diagnostics that send packets to the destination ip address and return timings to you.
ftp (file transfer protocol) can be downloaded and used to send or receive files accross the network.
telnet allows you to do a remote logon to Unix systems if you have and account there and then you can use a subset of the Unix command set to chat to users on that system.
There is even a character mode web browser you can download called links.

be careful , do the command wrong and the message gets sent to everyone in the network, and they know which computer sent it
so if you are working in a financial company, that would mean, ever pc in every building owned by the company. earning you a trip to a boss's office
some systems call it a session command

Depends on what you mean by Communicate...
If you mean sending messages like a chat then it;s a no.
You can send system alert messages that pop up on a windows system...example is
net send \\computername mymessagetext
this will make a message box pop up on the target system..
If you mean communicate like sending files n crap that's easy as well
you can use dos commands like copy and dir on other systems
for example there is a hidden administratice share drive that is on all windows computers called C$
a command like copy c:\*.txt \\targetpc\c$\*.txt
would copy all text foles from my drive to the remote drive...
also there alot more you can do..

Depends on your Network.
Some have Sametime, some have Groupwise messenger.
What is your Network Backbone... that should decide what the Messenger service is

In windows there is 'net send' but I'm not sure how to have all the dialog be in the command prompt.
