net send command

I am trying to use the net send command in my network but it is not working.

I did the following:
1) Switch on all the messenger services in all the PCs, and the server too.
2) All the PCs can receive their own messages whenever they use their own
domain name but every PC can't send to other PCs, that means the service is
ON but why the message can't reach other PCs on the network.

I am using this command in Dos: net send Sales1 Good Morning

Is there anything wrong?

Thank you.

Is "Sales1" the name of a PC, of a logon account or of a group?
Also: You must enclose your message in double quotes if it
contains spaces:

net send Sales1 "Good Morning"
 
Sales1 is a computer name.

Have a look at this thread that discusses the same issue:
http://www.windowsbbs.com/showthread.php?t=30318

Some further pointers:
- The Messenger service must run on both machines.
- Turn of your firewall while testing.
- Try sending by IP address and by user name.
- Report the full error messages you see.

Could you tell me how I can send by IP address and by user name. What is the
string or the command after "net send".

Thank you

Unless you take the time to respond to each and every point
I raised in my previous reply, I can offer no further assistance.
