The Timbuktu Pro Scanner helps you find and connect to remote computers, even when you don't know their IP addresses, by browsing your local network for active Timbuktu Pro computers. Once the desired computer is found, you may connect to it without leaving the Timbuktu Pro Scanner.
By default, the Timbuktu Pro Scanner scans the local TCP/IP subnet. Your system administrator can customize and extend the range of the Timbuktu Pro Scanner search.
