not sure about it but try go into DOS

and type

NET SEND (IP) hello

see what happens if it fails go to

control panel > administrative tools > services

locate Messenger, start it, on both machines and make sure it starts
automatically

now try net send again

if it works try winchat

they may r may not be directly connected im just guessing, ut if you want to
display messages to network machines its best to use NET SEND command in dos
