nistrator account but it still doesn=92t work. Yes, I also had the Type
set=
correctly and updated OK. Still not working =96 is there a debug mode or w=

Does Ping need to run on the remote PC being monitored?

No, just needs permissions to access the remote pc. It is using the
standar=
d windows WMI to to the checking, using an XP host i've checked 2k3 and 2k
=
so it does work!=20
Just checking when you picked the "Windows : DriveSpace", you did
click upd=
ate which then revealed the computername/drivename boxes and computer name
=
is just the computername with no extras and the drive name is the drive
let=
ter to be checked?



=20

I couldn=92t find the service on the local machine that Ping is running on
=
=96 does this need to be installed differently i.e. is there a service
opti=
on?

It's not default just an option. if you go to all programs > mi4.biz
> Serv=
ice  you  should see the service install/uninstall options.

Paul,

The computer name should just be the computer name and have no \\ or \
arou=
nd it. Also the program needs to run with an account with enough
privileges=
to connect to the remote pc. By default if running as a service the app wi=
ll run  as a local system account, just  go to admin tools, services and 
t=
he properties of the ping service and change it to something like a domain
=
admin account.

it. Also the program needs to run with an account with enough privileges to
