Good day,

I was wondering which firewall ports need to be opened on the remote machine to allow the System Performance Monitor probe.

I recently changed the Authorization user account password for the probe on one machine, and when I clicked on the "Press to check" button, I get the message "No network provider accepted the given network path." If I turn off Windows Firewall on the remote machine it start working again. I know the password is correct because it works on other machines.

Thank you.

Hi Zak,

Thank you for the link to the FAQ. I'm trying to monitor the CPU load on a Windows XP machine and have used the "netsh firewall set service RemoteAdmin enable" command, but when the monitor runs I get the error "Could not connect to server (0x800706BA)".

I have Windows firewall enabled with the "File and Printer Sharing" and "Remote Assistance" exceptions checked. When I disable the firewall, the monitor works fine. But, I need to have the firewall enabled on this machine at all times. What am I missing here?

Thank you again for the assistance.

The Windows XP firewall does not have a specific exception required for this to work (unlike Windows 7). Please refer to Microsoft documentation on another way to enable this exception (via Local Computer Policy): http://msdn.microsof...6(v=vs.85).aspx (see "To configure Connection 1", "Allow for remote administration on Computer B").
