When I attempt to send a broadcast message to all machines on my network, it
fails. If I send a message to a specific machine other than localhost, it
succeeds. Specifically:
net send x.x.x.x message #This works. ('x.x.x.x' is a local client
IP address).
net send clientname message #This works. ('clientname' is a valid local
client name).
net send localhost message #This fails with 'message alias not found'
error.
net send 127.0.0.1 message #This fails with 'message alias not found'
error.
net send * message #This fails with error 123.
Messenger service is started.
My hosts file contains only the single line:
127.0.0.1 localhost
Any ideas what's wrong?
Thanks.
