I know this sounds like a cop out, but I've had that issue for some time now, and just learned to live with it.
<div>I think it has something to do with the firewall possibly, because not all of mine are like this, but most of my servers are listed as offline, and I just know that they are online, establish the remote control, and then they are listed as "Online" and
in the Finder, etc.</div>

<div>Is anyone else experiencing the following:<br>
<br>
Several of our machines are reporting their status as "Offline" even though I can screen control the "Offline" computers (which are very much online). As a result of this offline status, I am unable to install packages to the machines via ARD. I can temporarily
perform remote installs by removing an offline machine and re-adding it in ARD, but only long enough to perform one very quick package push. <br>
<br>
One machine of primary concern is running 10.6.8 and ARD 3.5.1 from a static IP address.<br>
<br>
Is there some trick to getting ARD to accurately determine the status of the machine so I can install the necessary software?<br>
