I've aways gotten the damn 'unable to connect to machine' popup when clicking perf meter data source, but for local settings it doesn't seem to matter. but when I input a remote computers host name and pick a meter from it's list, it will show me details letting me know it did connect, like drive letters etc, but when I pick a meter and close/apply it simply will not accept the remote settings, it just default to a local view of whatever meter I was setting up.
this has been driving me insane for a long time, I've searched all over looking for someone else with this issue to no avail, so if anyone can help I'd be very very grateful.
