I've created an asp 3.5 page that attempts to query a remote machine with a WMI query (something simple like "select * from win32_bios").  I have gotten past authentication/firewall issues that prevented the asp page from access the remote machine and can successfully run the query via WMIC.  Yet, when I try to access the data in the ASP.NET page it shows the local machine data instead of the remote machine data.  I have set the connectionOptions to authenticate the remote machine as well as the connectionoptions to call and connect.  I am getting connected to the remote machine, but, the query results only reflect the local data, not the remote machine even if I specify the remote machine explicitly in the path.  Anyone have ideas of why ASP.NET looks locally but wmic hits the right node?
