The problem is, that you named your variable rednet. Rednet is the table of functions of the rednet API. Rename your variable you want to send.

Also in both computers you forget to open the modem with rednet.open(side)
On the receiving computer there is also a


id, message = rednet.receive()

needed to actually get the mesaage.
