Hi Alex.

When checking processes by RMA (remote server running NT 4.x with rma.exe running) I get "error 301 - cannot retrieve information". This happen whenever I type in IP-adress (ie. 10.10.10.201). When I change to NETBIOS-name everything is fine. Is this a feature or a bug? ;-D

Should I allways use NETBIOS-name/s when working through RMAs, since local RPC calls (within a local LAN) is NETBIOS-trafic? If yes.. then You should consider to change this, since NETBIOS-names could get mixed up and make HM+RMA confused. It's more secure to specify an IP-address.

Cheers,
Hans Mosegaard

Its not RMA's feature, its feature of the Windows. Windows API function RegConnectRegistry fails when you provide IP address instead of netbios name.
