weeeman Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Me and my bro are connected to the same network. He and I have windows 7 ultimate that has msg.exe. When i try to message him it says 'does not exist or is disconnected'. I dont see why this is happening. Any help would be great. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doG Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Are you messaging him by usename or IP? Username and or machine name addressing may fail if you're not using a domain controller. If you are using static IPs on your network you could make an entry in the hosts file on each machine to aid name resolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
