DB2 Personal Edition does not support remote connectivity (i.e. you can
only connect to it from the local machine). This means that there is no
TCP/IP listener to respond to discovery requests.
Therefore, you won't be able to see the instances using discovery.

Thank you!! I _thought_ that the PCs would be unable to see one another but
I wasn't _sure_. I couldn't find anything that said one or the other. I
wondered if they might see each other if the TCP/IP nodes were catalogued -
I could conceivably given them static IPs but, since you say that the
Personal Edition does not have a TCP/IP listener, I assume that ensures that
the PCs will not see each other even then.
I could have spent a lot of time with trial and error before finally coming
to this conclusion so I really appreciate your help with this. You have
saved me several hours that I didn't have to spare this week!
Thanks again!
