Create a search for peer-to-peer Host computers
By default, the Master searches only your local network segment when it starts to poll for
Host computers. To search for Host computers on a different network segment, a named
search must be created.
To create, edit, or remove a search, click Manage in the Peer-to-Peer Hosts tab. The
Manage Polling Ranges window appears.
The Ranges list displays any searches that you have specified and saved, as well as the
default local network searches. The searches that can be saved include a single address,
a range of addresses, or a grouping of previously saved searches.
Four entries (<Local Network UDP/IPv4>, <Link Local Network UDP/IPv6>, <Site Local
Network UDP/IPv6>, and <Local Network IPX>) represent the local networks to which you
are connected. You cannot edit or remove any of them. You can edit or remove any other
searches listed:
Click Edit to change the definition of a selected search.
Click Remove to delete a selected search from the list.
A new search can be created using either a custom polling range or a custom group by
clicking New>>.
