send message to whole windows network?
I've just discovered that you can use this command to send a message to one pc on the network
msg username /SERVER:hostname /V message to send
is there some command (something like below that i've just made up) that will send it to all pcs on the network?
msg /SERVER:192.168.1.* /V message to send
windows windows-10 cmd.exe

Are you talking about the "net send" command?

formerly known as net send. To my understanding, "msg" is the post-xp replacement for net send

Ah, I think I just found something on that. I'll post it up for you.

am I phrasing something wrong? cause this seems what everybody says. The issue is I want to send this message to an entirely seperate PC. Example: I have 3 laptops in the room, and I want to send a message from one lapotp to both others without having to individually specify them.
– Blaine
Jul 7 '16 at 15:30
...then again, it appears maybe i was wrong with the command usage as I can't seem to get the message to send to a different PC anyway
– Blaine
Jul 7 '16 at 15:36
or this is due to my lack of understanding of domain vs workgroup vs network

Is everyone on the same network? I believe that every computer has to have the same Workgroup name. All the computers in my house are all in the same workgroup.

not sure how i check the work group... They are all connected to the same wifi router
