What OS are you running on your WhatsUp Gold PC and on the target? The error you describe is DCOM Event ID 10009.
Googling gives a couple of snippets: >This error is also related with a DCOM/COM+ > bug not releasing (consuming) TCP ports > between 1024 and 5000 range under heavy load. > This problem was first corrected in Win2k SP 2. > More information can be found in Q290512. And... > The most likely cause for this is authentication Obviously nothing to do with consumption of TCP ports, but something worth investigating. Also... http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;823159 Now, this is about Outlook accessing MSExchange... but it talks about DCOM 10009 down at the bottom. Are you running MS Exchange? Or rather, are you using the Whatsup Exchange Monitor? If you are, do the errors stop if you disable these particular checks whilst still running WhatsUp Gold? Lastly, can you access the remote system by other mechanisms? ie, view the log file if working with events, or use a 3rd party WMI browser?
