The following controls can be used to define IP address search criteria:

	Adds a computer or IP address
	Deletes a computer or IP address range
	Edits a computer name or an IP address range
	Loads a list of computers or IP address ranges from a file

Wildcards

Wildcards are asterisks (*) or question marks (?). An asterisk matches any number of characters. A question mark matches a single arbitrary character.

If you want to search an IP subnetwork, you must specify its IP address range. For example, if you want to find files on computers in two subnetworks 192.168.10.x and 192.168.11.x, just enter these ranges as shown on the picture below. Click the Auto button to determine the IP Address range of your network automatically.
