SA used normal Win32 api calls to do:
    service
    process
    perfmon
    diskspace
checks.
 
And since those Win32 api calls use Netbios you can say that Netbios is needed for those tests.
 
What should I "see" on the webpage?

Please correct me if I'm mistaken - I thought SA uses RPC calls to check services/process? However, I'm not implying it's an issue with SA.

Yes - I aware & you're right that RPC/NETBIOS has been blocked on my firewall -but I have a rule to allow RPC calls to the servers I want to check. All want to know is the program  & version numbers for SA.

Perhaps if my explaination is not clear could you please check this link:

This is not an SA issue as such.  We use Netbios to do some of the checks and your firewall is blocking those. If you still want to use these checks you'll have to open the port on the firewall.  Nothing we can do about that within Servers Alive.

I remember the issue of Salive not being able to check the status of services/processes in the DMZ was raised in October 2000 - because the firewall do not allow this through.

Could you please let me know whether you have found a way around this. If not - I understand I may need the program number & version number of Salive do be able to set a rule on my firewall to let RPC through.

Here is the link where I found the information:
