send a message to PC on the same local network Solved

Question

Just like we can ping a hostname or its IP address to check if it responds, there is a way to send a small message in a window on the remote PC.
This is the command I need along with the syntax, thank you in advance.

Hello,

The simplest solution is to install dedicated software on each PC in the network, which will avoid compatibility issues and registry configuration:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/beebeep/

For those who absolutely want to rely on Windows mechanisms, on PCs running Windows 7 and above (Windows 10, Windows 8):

Press the Windows+R keys simultaneously, then type
```
cmd
```
and confirm with Ctrl+Shift+Enter to run as administrator

Then enter the following command:

msg * /server:remote_machine_name_or_ip your_message

On the receiving computer(s), set the AllowRemoteRPC value to 1 in the

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server

key.

On Windows versions older than Windows 7, the command is:

net send remotePCname message

The specified PC should receive the message (unless the Message Display service is disabled)

Hello everyone, it’s normal that net send doesn’t work since that’s the name of the command, but it’s written

"netsend" without a space, this way it works!
However, does anyone know how to send messages across a network when this function is disabled?

Hello everyone, it's normal that net send doesn't work since that's the name of this command, but it's written

"netsend" so without a space, in this way it works!
However, does anyone know how to send messages across a network when this function is disabled?

Hello,  the "net send" command actually exists, it works on XP but the problem is that I changed my PC to one with Seven and now it doesn't work anymore.  Does anyone have the solution?

```html
What should I really write (I'm on XP): net send or netsend, and then what should I write after these words to send it to a specific computer?
```

Sending such messages won't make you a hacker and will not entertain the recipient at all; it's just a basic command. Use social media to send your messages!! Or open your notepad and write the algorithm while recording the command!! This way your message will be sent and you will be satisfied lol.
