If you want to guarantee discovery of your node 192.168.4.56 then that is what 
you must add.
Only fully complete individual entries will guarantee discovery.
The others are ranges, which permit discovery (that is they permit 
inclusion in the databases provided they are discovered somehow).
So what you have coded,

!192.*.*.1-20
192.168.4.* 

Just says that you want to exclude everything in the range of  !192.*.*.1-20 
that is not it the range of 192.168.4.*,
but to guarantee 192.168.4.56 is found, you have to add that also.  If not, you 
might never run across 
it in the ARP cache of some device you do discover.
The addition of the complete address of a node overrides any ranges you 
code.

!192.*.*.1-20
192.168.4.* 
192.168.4.56

I'm a new Tivoli NetView user.

In the seed file, is the inclusion or the exclusion that wins over the
other ?

I explain myself, if i do that

!192.*.*.1-20
192.168.4.*

Will I be able to get my server that has an ip of 192.168.4.56 ?

Thanks
