    Hello All!

    I was just wondering if there was a way to send a message or note to another computer on the same wireless network, other than using (AIM, YIM, ) or other web base messaging software.

    I'm using XP Pro on both computer and a Linksys WRT150N router

    Thanks!

    XP has an app called Windows Messgenger which allows you to send message via a command prompt.

    Running both Windows Messenger and MSN Messenger 5.0 in Windows XP

    There is also NET SEND, but most systems disable this as it's been so abused by viruses and the like. Windows messenger is a better way to go.
