Hide iSeries NetServer from the network

For an added measure of security you can hide iSeries NetServer™ from the Windows My Network Places.

To hide iSeries NetServer from the network follow these steps:

1. Open iSeries Navigator and connect to the system you want to work with.
2. Expand Network.
3. Expand Servers.
4. Click TCP/IP to display a list of TCP/IP servers available.
5. Right-click iSeries NetServer and select Properties.
6. Click the Advanced tab and click the Next Start button.
7. Select None in the Browsing announcement interval field.
   Note:
   Setting the browsing announcement interval to None stops the host announcements to the network. It also stops domain announcements if iSeries NetServer is configured as a Logon Server and may cause problems for logon services for some networks. In general, the default browsing announcement interval should be left if iSeries NetServer is a Logon Server. The default browsing announcement interval is 720 seconds, or 12 minutes.
