LAN/Intranet messaging/sharing software

[Flatbadger]

I have two Win7 PCs and want to occasionally send files or text between them, are there any decent free programs that anyone can recommend?

Experience tells me not to even try setting up file sharing on two Windows 7 PCs, so I'm looking for a dodge.

Edit: I've just seen one called BORGChat, so don't suggest that one

Does Sticky Notes still exist?
I worked for a company about 10 years ago that used it, worked well.

Edit: Actually I'm not sure it was even called that...

If you are hardwired for networking then file sharing is easy, for some reason introduce wifi and it becomes a pita.

Same network, just file share. Diff network, CentraStage.

Hmm, I remember having problems between a Win7 and an XP before - maybe I'll give the Windows a go first since I now have two Win7s.

It would be nice though to have a little something to swap the odd bit of text between machines without having to save it to a text file etc.

The Sticky Notes thing sounds about right for that, I'll check it out

DC++ used to be pretty good and very straight forward. Not used it for years though..
