How do you Disable Computer name when sending a message in Win2kPro using Net Send? I know there is a way to do it, but I can't find it in any of the tech books I have. Of course I could be looking in the wrong area. I know how to stop receiving messages by turning off the Messenger Service, but how do I stop my computer name from being broadcast when I send a message?

what about if you removed a computer name from your computer? right click my computer and select properties, goto computer name and dont put a name in.

If I did that then my computer has to reboot. Also, with no name, I can't access resources on the network or connect to the network in the first place. Thanks for trying.

Sorry, this only adds and removes extra names to a computer. Does not "hide" the computer name. And you can't remove the computers name, it won't let you. (I tried this already :) )Sorry.
