IBM GC09-2830-00 manual a. Click on the Add System push button

The Client Con®guration Assistant may be unable to detect a remote system if:

vThe Administration Server is not running on the remote system.

vThe Discovery function times out. By default, the Discovery function will search the network for 40 seconds; this may not be long enough to detect the remote system. You can set the DB2DISCOVERYTIME registry variable to specify a longer period of time.

vThe network that the Discovery request is running on is con®gured so that the Discovery request does not reach the remote system desired.

vYou are using NetBIOS as the Discovery protocol. You may need to set the DB2NBDISCOVERRCVBUFS registry variable to a larger value to enable the client to receive more concurrent Discovery replies.

For more information, refer to the Administration Guide.
