Do you know how to set these up... because I a have a LAN between win xp and 2000, I tried NetMeeting, but that is a didgy program... does 2000 have messenger or can I just download MS messenger... and I have never heard abnout net send... any help would be cool.
There are a few small apps that will do this from a GUI for you. I wrote one in VB, it's actually quite easy.
The Messenger service is started by default, just check your Services list. The message that is sent to another 2k system will pop up in a small dialog box on the destination system. Nate Gagne

I'll have to go try. I don't spose you know what protocol is the best to use for a small home network between two computers. One is XP, the other 2000. Using a UTP cable.
I would recommend NetBeui and TCP/IP. There are plenty of people here who would choose IPX, but I do not have any experience in that area and from what I can gather, it's not a good choice.
