I'm having this problem with the 'net send' command. I activated the messenger service on every computer and set up the firewall. But it doesn't seem to work! This is the error message:

An error occurred while sending a message to <computer_name>.
The message alias could not be found on the network.
More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 2273.

But it works if I send the message to the whole workgroup, like this: net send * <message>

What is going on here?? :cry:

P.S: I'm using Windows XP SP 2
 
Make sure you put the domain in as well.
 
Is this in a domain? Is name resolution working? WINS and/or DNS resolution?

No, just a workgroup.

Actually I don't use a WINS server. Do you think that's the problem? You can browse the others computers' files just fine. Name resolution works fine.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
