chema Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 It's only avaible If you're under XP/2000 in a local network or have messenger runing (and signed on). Just go Start - Run - CMD or COMMAND - Type "net send IP adress or network name TEXT" Notice that after the IP adress or Network name there is 2 espaces " ". :D <edit> for some reason the forum doesn't allow me to put 2 spaces... :/</edit> I just wanted to share this with you guys :p Later ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OPaul Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 I think most people already knew about this; the service is widely misused to spam products much the same way spam email works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Novex Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 hehe a sometimes-usefull little knick knack over LANs, though the thave more bad uses than good, like spamming, or even bombing (put a few thousand of those buggers in a .bat file and kick it off, lots of clicking for the person at the other end)... though they are fun at lan parties :D if you really want to annoy someone send them one while theyre playing CS, no sound after that ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeS2k Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 Back when hardly anyone knew about them, I sent some to a friend claiming to be from Microsoft (all about Piracy etc). He formatted his computer shortly after that, then I sent him another one :p How mean :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyD Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 I started getting those spam net messages the other day out of nowhere. I wish I could get the IP of the dumbass who was doing it so I can report him to my ISP or flood him back with messages. I turned off the service for now so that it won't happen again.
