names of other machines on local netwrok.

No one answered your question.  I have noticed there are differences in the
way you ping an address when on windows or when on mac or unix. Livencode
has a nice hostAddressToName("127.0.0.1") and

hostNameToAddress(*domainName, [callback]*)

Write something to ping it first before connecting too.
