The Client Configuration Assistant may be unable to detect a remote
system if:
v The Administration Server is not running on the remote system.
v The 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.
v The network that the Discovery request is running on is
configured so that the Discovery request does not reach the remote
system desired.
v You 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.
