Peer-to-Peer Hosts

Select the Peer-to-Peer Hosts tab in the Master Settings window to adjust the following settings:

u Construct station specifiers: Specify the way that station specifiers (connect strings) are constructed for polled Hosts by selecting one of the following options:

w From DNS name, or by network and station name specifies Host computers either by computer name or by DNS name. With this option, a reverse DNS lookup is attempted using the network address. A reverse DNS lookup can take a long time depending on the network configuration, and may cause performance problems if there is a large number of Host computers. If the reverse DNS lookup succeeds, the station specifier is the DNS name. Otherwise, the network address and station name are used.

w From network and station name only specifies Host computers by network address and station name using the address:name syntax.

w From network connection address only specifies Host computers network address.

u Check Poll automatically on startup to poll for Host computers when you start PC-Duo Master. With this option, PC-Duo Master searches for all computers listed next to Range on the Peer-to-Peer Hosts tab. This is useful if the polling range is small. If the polling range is large, automatic polling may slow PC-Duo Master’s startup significantly.
