Remote Process Explorer uses WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) through DCOM RPC. DCOM does not work through a NAT unless at least one of the NAT'd server machine's network addresses is visible from the client machine. The best way to get this to work is to somehow see that the name of the server is resolvable from the client machine.
We have to do a entry of the server in the host file of our system, so that it can access the information of the requested server.
You have to do the simple steps:
The user does not have remote access to the computer through DCOM.
Please, try the next on the problem PC:

Note: This disables some of the protection provided by UAC. Specifically, any remote access to the server using an administrator security token is automatically elevated with full administrator rights, including access to the root folder.
