Netsend?

At my office the people have been using Net send to send out messages to one another. A new pc was added and no one can send or receive messages from it. The network consists of Win2K, Win98se, and a few WinXP machines; all can send and receive with net send. The newest pc is a WINXP machine and for nothing can we get it to send or receive out to the others. This pc is sharing its printers and files which all seem to work normally.

What are things to check?

And are there any alternatives for network messaging?


Thanks guys,

Under Computer Management, Services and Applications, Services make sure that the Messenger service is running.

although ua549 is almost certianly right [its a fairly common problem]. you should also check that the new pc has having its ip correctly assigned and that your using the correct one to send messages to.
