Hi,

I have a small home network on linksys router. Two w2k and one xp are networked, and they can ping each other. When I use 'net send' and it gives error: 'An error occurred while send a message to XXXX. The message alias could not be found on the network. More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 2273.' I use ip instead of box name and got same error.
The messenger service is on since there is an <03> entry. On the linksys router Filter:
Block WAN Request: Enable
IPSec Pass Through: Enable
PPTP Pass Through: Enable
L2TP Pass Through: Enable
Remote Management: Enable
Use default MTU: Enable

I disabled Block WAN Request and net send still doesn't work. I don't have firewall. Can't figure out why, please help. Thanks. -wolf

Do you have the security permissions to allow you to send the Net Send message to the other workstations?

Thanks for your reply. I'm on my home network, all pcs are peer to peer, and I don't know if it's the security permission problem. How to check it?
