Help setting up Net Send operator

I get this error every time I try to test Net Send operator:
Failed to Net Send to the address "xxxxxxx".
I've tried multiple addresses, including my network sign-in name, computer
name.
Please help, thank you in advance for your time!
Leon ShargorodskyIs the messenger service installed and running on the machine you are trying
to use net send?
