Hi, I'm a first time poster, long time reader. I have a problem connecting to other stations on my lan network. I am trying to view a reg value from these stations. I am using ActivePerl and installed Win32::Tieregistry using PPM. When I try to connect to another station, it keeps on giving me errors or it simply cannot connect. I have no idea what the problem is and I have tried everything. I often get an error saying something about conflict with an existing I/O operation. Here is my script for the remote registry connection: 
use Win32::TieRegistry( Delimiter=>"/");

$machine="A";
$path='LMachine/AA/BB/CC/';
$remote_key = $Registry->Connect($machine, $path, {Access=> KEY_READ})
+or die "Can't read $root_key ";
$remoteData= $remote_key->{"/value"}
    or  die "Can't read ServerA's value";

After running it, it only displays the "Can't read $root_key" Is it because I'm using a WINXP machine to connect to a Vista machine? Also, do I have to worry about username/password for the station I want to connect to? Please help me out! Thanks! CJ
