Thanks for the response. From my experience that does not matter. It is an actual IP address. I can connect to the registry fine, its just the writing. I read that value and other values. It errors on the _winreg.KEY_SET_VALUE. I am wondering if Windows just will not let the registry be changed remotely in this way or if there is something else I have to do. Thanks.
