You must set an IP broadcast address in the WT interfaces dialogs which 
will covers all the machines you want to connect.

Your network seems to be a "class A" network (10.x.y.z).

To be sure to cover an entire class A network you must use a 
10.255.255.255 brodcast address. This way, you will be able to connect 
about 167 millions networked computers ;-) It should be enough, even for 
a M/M effort) The default port (9871) should work (dont forget to open 
individual UDP port on your machines firewalls if any).
