my 2 frequent errors are: Timed out attempting to connect to server or get service information. or The remote procedure call failed. Make sure a valid administrator username and password have been supplied for the probe target. Make sure any firewalls are allowing Windows Networking traffic.
I've set the timeout at 10 seconds, but it seems to 'time out' too frequently. The username and password aren't incorrect, because reprobing, or waiting another prob cycle will usually correct the 'outage' James P.
