Home Networking

[5freemen]

I've set up a home network and can transfer files, use two printers etc between my two computers. However, if one person is sitting at each computer using different applications/games, what's the best way of pinging a message from one to the other?

An Instant Messenger such as MSN, Skype or Google chat.

Those solutions will certainly work, but seem just a wee bit over the top for use on a LAN. Have a look at these free solutions:
