What do you mean by "to loop a Net Send command"?

Which condition breaks the loop? Please explain clearly what you want to achieve. Here you find a lot of batch scripting gurus, but they can't read your mind.

I strongly hope you do not want to use my know-how to hack anybody; keep in mind I can track you and pull you to pay for any harmful design.

So stated, here a sample batch to loop thirty times the message

for /L %%j in (1 1 30) do @Net Send .....

If you want you can just type it at prompt replacing %%j with %j.

for /L %%j in (1 1 30) do @Net Send Computer_Name Message

E.G.: Net Send H-BOMB Beware HOT RUN!

You can use ip addres instead of computer name if known and that works on LAN only.

A network is a system connecting two or more nodes, one computer does not make a LAN, it is a standalone workstation. Any way your computer has its own name even if not connected to a LAN. Type Echo.%computername% to display it. To deliver a message to yourself save the following script as myself.bat

for /L %%j in (1 1 30) do @Net Send %ComputerName% Test MSG

then type myself I don't know however if that does work without a LAN connection. Just try.

Just for your info, the Net Send command needs the Messenger Service of XP is enabled that is not granted by default. Instead of teaching how to enable it, I suggest you use the following alternate command (mandatory on Vista)

msg /server:ComputerName * Message Text

So if you get an "alias" error message replace Net Send with the above statement that does not require Messenger Service enabled.
