It only likes UNC (\\) names. I would like to use system monitor on a server wihtout using Terminal services on the server itself. I'm in Phoenix AZ and the server is in Washington DC.

try a WINS lookup to get a UNC qualifier for the remote server.

Whats the command for the WINS version of NSLookup (looks up WINS names as opposed to DNS)?

If all else fails, I thought you could just bung an IP number in there instead of the machine's name \\192.168.0.1\blah

\\[IPAddress] doesn't work. Doesn't work for an internal IP address either.

\\[IP] does work in a web browser though, but not in performance monitor. Using in a explorer or browser window brings up a list of network shares. An internet IP does not work.
