The TCP/IP Scanner tab in the New Connection window helps you find and con-
nect to remote computers, even when you don’t know their IP addresses, by
browsing your local network for active Timbuktu Pro computers. When you find
the desired computer, you may connect to it without leaving the TCP/IP Scanner
