I was wondering if there is any way to chat in LAN in XP without using any external Software. I know how to do it with Netsend command but there must be an easier way to do it.

What could be easier than net send? :huh:

If you've got static IP addresses you could always just rig up a batch file to shorten the command

i'm sure he wants a gui of some type.
it's possible that you could do it via winchat, but I dunno...I don't have a lan here to play on right now
(Start > Run Winchat > File > Dial... > Select machine)

wow i never knew there was a winchat command/program.
but anyway i tried it and it says the other computer didnt respond so i guess you need the program to already be open on the other computer?
in that case u might as welll use aim, msn messenger, or netmeeting or something.

or just put it in your startup menu :P
(if you're gonna use it while at school or something)

The way i do the "netsend" is to go to command promt and type a netsend and IP before even typing my msg. I dont know how you call that easy.
Can you explain the batch file process.
