If you wanna send a message over on a XP-workgroup network try the following:

on cmd level
[b]net send /? [/b]
and it will give you the parameters for your messages

Two commands to do this
1) c:\>net send hostname "message"
(you will get hostname by typing the "hostname" command at the command prompt of that current)
(Assure that Messenger service is enabled in all the systems ur using to send messages, for this type services.msc in the run dialog box and check that messenger service is enabled or not, if not enable it)

2) c:\>msg username "message"

username is the login name of the computer.

Any feedback/ suggestion reply to me at balakrishna.mgl@gmail.com

NOTE: U can use these commands in the programming languages also. U will have methods to run those commands.
