I'm having problems with messageing in my dorm LAN. I can send messages with 'samba -M host', or using LinPopUp, but I can't send anything to entire network? In windows, i would send my message to "*", through the net command, or with WinMessanger, but Samba wont take "*" as an argument :(. What am I doing wrong?

Tried the quotes, 'escaped' it with a \, and I tried sending it with LinPopUp. Nothing works :(. I'm becoming desperate and suicidal :roll:.
