I would like to be able to broadcast to all nodes on the network. Some NT4 workstation clients receive net send messages whilst others do not and error message is:
"An error occurred whilst sending a message to nnn. The alias could not be foundon the network." The HELPMSG 2273 suggests incorrect spelling of alias or remote computer is busy. However, I get an instant response when pinging the alias.

I would be grateful for advice.

Make sure that the messenger service is started on the offending work stations. If it is not started, you will be able to PING but not send with net send.
