All of a sudden i seem to have a problem doing net sends
to pc's in the office.

I can ping the PC name, but when i type net send PCNAME i
get a message back saying the message alias could not be
found on the network.

Up until now i had no problems sending net sends and for
some reason its not working now.

any ideas?
 
You perhaps turned off NetBIOS on (some of) the machines?

You have a routed network but no longer have a WINS server?
 
Make sure it's running on both your computer and the target computer!
