I'm currently having the same problem...Hostmonitor 4.86 on a Windows 2003 Standard Server. I put on SP 1 and suddenly a lot of the test are either timed out or unable to connect to host. Nothing else has changed. Removing SP 1 gets things back to normal.

Performance counters seems to be the problem.....UNC,CPU and pings are not affected.

Help !!!!!!!!!

Best Regards

JJ

I experienced the same issue. Removing SP1 seems to have resolved the problem. I'm going to upgrade to 5.12 and see if that has an effect.

I am afraid it will not help. Problem is somewhere in Service Pack.. I think some permissions issue but I am not sure. Trying to find information...

problem with the firewall maybe ?
no problem for me with SP1 and 5.12, but you need to open theses ports : udp 137 and 138, tcp 135, 139 and 445 on monitoring and destination server.

And put logging on this new feature !

I don't think its a good idea to open these ports on firewall. There are often some security holes detected in such services.
Better install RMA in the remote network.

As I understand Ybernanny and JJnordic and Samercer monitor LAN (no firewall), right?

I'm running the tests on local LAN and through VPN connections....so no firewalls.

The behavior resembles what happens when the VPN's are under heavy loads........time out errors.

Actually, I am monitoring network objects behind and through multiple firewalls. My organization has no dedicated WAN links, only site-to-site VPNs over the internet. I have had great success monitoring remote objects. We are even monitoring the state of a VPN tunnel from the US to India. The trick is that we have special VPN rules in the firewalls that make the remote LAN segments appear as though they are on the same network as the HostMonitor server is.
