\par\sa120\sb120\qj\pard \f1\fs18\sb120 Using {\b Big Brother} consists of two parts - designing your network tree and monitoring it's activity. The latter takes no effort of yours.
\par\sa120\sb120\qj\pard \f1\fs18\sb120 To design the network layout is to put your hosts into Network Tree pane. To {\uldb add a child host}{\v HID_BROTHERS_NEW} to the current just press insert or Select Brothers/Add child from menu. To {\uldb add a brother}{\v HID_BROTHERS_ADDBROTHER} of the current host select Brothers/Add brother from menu. (note: You can't add brother to the root node)
