[Spread-users] Starting trouble

[Ryan Caudy]

You're trying to broadcast on the broadcast address for localhost 
(127.0.0.255).  Use 128.yy.xx.255 (or whatever the correct broadcast 
address for your LAN is), or a multicast address, instead.  Spread is 
certainly not configured to work with only 2 users.
