2. From the Configuration Assistant, click on the Selected --> Add database using<br />
Wizard menu<br />
3. From the Select how you want to set up a connection window, you can use Search<br />
the network if your network is small <strong>with</strong>out many hubs. If you know the name of<br />
the server where DB2 resides, choose Known systems and drill down all the way<br />
to the database you want to connect. Proceed <strong>with</strong> the wizard using default values.<br />
If you do not know the name of your system, choose Other systems (Search the<br />
network). Note that this may take a long time if your network is large.<br />
4. If Search the network does not work, go back to the Select how you want to set up<br />
a connection window, and choose Manually configure a connection to a database.<br />
Choose TCP/IP and click next. Input the hostname or IP address where your DB2<br />
server resides. Input either the service name or the port number.<br />
5. Continue <strong>with</strong> the wizard prompts and leave the default values.<br />
6. After you finish your set up, a window will pop up asking you if you want to test<br />
your connection. You can also test the connection after the setup is finished by<br />
right-clicking on the database, and choosing Test Connection.
