RE: Network task

I must be doing something wrong.

>From my pc:

net time \\winserver
Current time at \\winserver is

>From th i:
RUNRMTCMD CMD(' net time') RMTLOCNAME('\\winserver' *IP) either with my network login or without, I get the following:

CPE3425 "A remote host refused an attempted connect operation."

Seems like some different protocol is being used.

Also, I have tried it with and without the leading \\ characters.

My pc may be authenticating in the background. Thus no need for the user name and password. A guess. But, what can cause the CPE3425 error when attempting to communicate with the same server"?
