Without the error message it's a bit hard, but I would get it's because by default (since XP SP2 i believe) the messenger service is disabled. You need this service enabled to use net send.

at cmd, try: net start messenger on yours and the client computer
if it is already running, try using the computer's hostname insread of ip. here's my batch messenger:

@echo off
cls
:START
echo Here is a list of computers on your network:
net view
set /p computer:Enter computer's name
set /p message:Enter your message
net send %computer% %message%
echo Press any key to send a new message
pause >nul
goto START
