Thanks both Oliver James, Yes I am running on Windows and I have seen
that the documentation for it is very limited when compared to the
manuals for Unix, so I am taking some time to read the Unix manuals.
I followed James advice(the same as yours Oliver), but the default map
was still the same, the nodes did not appeared.
With a trial and error process in the GUI, I selected one of the
subnets (symbol)where the hosts should appear, then went to Object -
> Discover and then the subnet symbol changed from brown to green and
all the hosts appeared.
What is the sequence of things that this triggered, I do not know, but
it did what I was trying to do... Of course I would like to make the
maps refresh automatically so this should not be the way of doing it.
Thanks guys for your help.
I will take a look at new discovered host in the ObjDB and see if I can
locate them in the map.
