No, just needs permissions to access the remote pc. It is using the
standard windows WMI to to the checking, using an XP host i've checked
2k3 and 2k  so it does work!
Just checking when you picked the "Windows : DriveSpace", you did
click
update which then revealed the computername/drivename boxes and computer
name is just the computername with no extras and the drive name is the
drive letter to be checked?

The computer name should just be the computer name and have no \\ or \
around
it. Also the program needs to run with an account with enough
privileges to
connect to the remote pc. By default if running as a service the app
will
run  as a local system account, just  go to admin tools, services
and  the properties of the ping service and change it to something like
a
domain admin account.<br>
