Hi Don,
I downloaded the API and ran the VB sample "Pool.exe" with the bip ip's IP address, username and password. The pool.exe returned the error "The remote server returned an error: (407) Proxy Authentication Required. This does return some results when Googling the error which I need to see if they apply to my situation.
Looking at the command line arguments for pool.exe I can't pass my proxy values to it. Although, the VB code I wrote did pass proxy address, port, username and password as parameters and that code would not initialize either.
thanks for your help,
Wade
