What about msg.exe through the 2 computers. Each can ping itself and each other successfully. Cant get it to work and spent days trying. I cant change the compatibility for msg.exe to work as server either. There is a linksys router and both have windows firewall. Both comp on Win 7 Ultimate. Oh, and I have already changed the registry value to 1. Please help

Hi, Perhaps, you want to send message between 2 computers via msg.exe command. Based on my research, it seemed like that the msg.exe is only for use in terminal server environment. You may choose some 3rd party tools to achieve your purpose.
