net send - command prompt

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



I've used the "net send" command before when on company networks (handy
for bouncing messages back and forth, and for getting your point
noticed). What I was wondering is whether it's possible to use the
"net send" command over the web between two pc's. I tried to net send
my own pc as a test, but I just keep getting an error message.

My set up is:

* Win xp with xp firewall
* broadband connection behind a Creative broadband blaster router
* Static IP address

I picked a random port number (against tcp) and forwarded it in the
router setup. I also made the cmd program an exception in the windows
firewall setup. Still no joy. Am I doing something wrong, or can it
not be done?

All tips appreciated.

Thanks.
