| Hi, i've just installed a home network and want to ask
| something about instant messaging from a user on one computer
| to another user on another computer on the network. Is this

| a tab titled 'users'. On it there is an option to 'send
| message' but i cant get this to work. Any help is greatly
| appreciated. Thanks.
