Messenger service receive its messages VIA the mailslot called messngr (\\computername\mailslot\messngr)


Yes, I had the same problem with the server and client thing. My idea was to use the NT protocol but nobody could tell me how NT sends a message to another NT PC.

Now this is where the difference comes in. On win9x you need to run the client software continuesly. Where on NT all you do is go to a dos prompt and type 'net send ' and a logon ID ' Hallo' and the message will be displayed on the other PC. No client software that sit in the startbar or systemtry.

But not even microsoft could give a proper answer.
