Hi all,
I am trying to write to an EventLog on a remote machine and am getting an IOException stating "Network path not found". Now the computer name I am referencing can indeed be found and if I type a computer name such as "BLABLA" it takes forever to return however if I type in the computer name that is in my domain it returns almost instantly as if the computer is found but reports the above error. Also, I am able to connect to the remote computer's EventLog using my current credentials (I.E. not specifying a different user) through the Vista Event Viewer and "Connect to another machine" without any problem. Any ideas on why I am unable to connect to the same machine name but through the EventLog Class? Any help much appreciated. :)
Here is some of the code I am working with:

Here is some of the code I am working with:
| if (!EventLog.Exists("Application", "REMOTEMACHINENAME")) //Exception here or any time I use an EventLog method that tries to reference the remote machine. |
| { |
| EventSourceCreationData srcData = new EventSourceCreationData("Taicho", "TaichoLog"); |
| srcData.MachineName = "REMOTEMACHINENAME"; EventLog.CreateEventSource(srcData); |
| } |
| EventLog log = new EventLog("TaichoLog", "REMOTEMACHINENAME","Taicho"); |
| log.WriteEntry("Taicho says hi from his computer", EventLogEntryType.Information); |
