how to send a message to another computer within the network?

Hi, say if I have another computer within the network. Is there ways I can send a message box with text to that computer?

You can use the NET SEND command. But chances are, you will have to re-enable it in the services

It was disabled after SP1.

Enable Messenger in your services and open a DOS window. The syntax is

net send 192.168.0.x (or the computer name) {Message}
