Thanks both Oliver James,  Yes I am running on Windows and I have seen 
that the documentation for it is very limited when compared to the 
manuals for Unix, so I am taking some time to read the Unix manuals.

I followed James advice(the same as yours Oliver), but the default map 
was still the same, the nodes did not appeared.

With a trial and error process in the GUI, I selected one of the 
subnets (symbol)where the hosts should appear,  then went to    Object -
> Discover and then the subnet symbol changed from brown to green and 
all the hosts appeared.

What is the sequence of things that this triggered, I do not know, but 
it did what I was trying to do...  Of course I would like to make the 
maps refresh automatically so this should not be the way of doing it.

Thanks guys for your help.

I will take a look at new discovered host in the ObjDB and see if I can 
locate them in the map.
