| 134796 | 2003-04-10 03:32:00 | Javoyle, If you are using NT/Win2000/XP then STOP and DISABLE the MESSENGER service. Since you haven't stated your OS I will leave it up to you to do the rest. From help: "The Messenger service transmits net send and Alerter service messages between clients and servers. This service is not related to Windows Messenger. If this service is stopped, Alerter messages will not be transmitted. If this service is disabled, any services that explicitly depend on it will fail to start." Cheers, Babe. |

| 134797 | 2003-04-10 03:38:00 | Javoyle - a quick search of your previous post suggests you are using XP Pro. Go to Control Panel > Admin Tools > Services. Scroll down and find Messenger. Right click on it, and select properties. Under service status select stop. Then under start up type, select disable. Click Apply and then OK. Jen |

| 134799 | 2003-04-10 05:25:00 | I would also take a look as to why you are getting the netsends. Sounds as if you should have some more firewall protection. | -=JM=- (16) | ||
| 134800 | 2003-04-10 08:16:00 | Should we tell them how to disable netsend? Our fun level would go down considerably...haha Anyway you can stop/disable it one of 2 ways. 1(stop) run -> cmd -> type in: 'net stop messenger' - is good for stopping DOS attacks on the spot. 'net start messenger' starts it up again. 2(disable) * Right click 'My Computer' select manage. ** In the right window, double-click 'Services and Applications'. *** Double-click 'Services'. **** Scroll down and find 'Messenger'. ***** Right click and select 'Properties' ****** Click the 'Stop' button and change the startup type to either Manual or Disabled. I reccommend the Manual option. Cheers |

| 134801 | 2003-04-10 22:44:00 | Yes good thinking Jen C But the computer i want to stop incoming LOCAL area network netsends is a 2000 pro and i am not an administrator... What is the difference between stopping it and disabling it? If it is possible i was hoping to block local netsends from a specific user on the lan. So i dont NECCISARILY want to stop incoming messages from all of the users if possible PS does anyone know any cool tips and tricks for netsend?! ;) javoyle |

| 134802 | 2003-04-10 23:19:00 | Well.. I made a thread not too long ago about Net Send message over the Internet which went right off track... have a look for it by doing a PressF1 search :-) AFAIK, Stopping it is like pausing the service, so its temporarily suspended but will be back when you reboot. Disabling it just doesnt start it next time you reboot at all, and forever more :-) |

| 134803 | 2003-04-11 02:57:00 | well, to stop them netsending you...crash their computer everytime they annoy you. You can do this with the netsend programme if you like...read up on the other post, linked here. Otherwise I don't know :) |
