Intel VPRO managment engine - cant get "initiate remote connection"

Question

Hi Everyone
When configuring the intel ME bios to enable KVM access on my new ThinkCentre M93P machines, i no longer get the option "Press 2 to initiate a remote connection" when i turn the machine on and hit CTRL+P
What used to happen (and still works fine on ThinkPads) is that the first time you hit CTRL+P you go into the intel management engine setup screen.  Then once setup, the next time you hit CTRL+P , rather than go straight into the manegement engine BIOS you would get two options:
Press 1 to enter ME configuration screens
Press 2 to initiate a remote connection
However on the Thinkcentres i cant get it to give me these two options, it always goes into the ME screens.   Anyone else succesfully using this feature?
Thanks for any help

Hi,
iChat to iChat, Google ID to Google ID works.
It invokes exactly the same A/V side of iChat.
This does require that the ports are allowed (UPnP) or opened (Port Forwarding or Port triggering) in the connection device that you have.
It requires that you do not have two device at one end doing DHCP (just bad Networking) and in some cases iChat needs to make sure the LAN is specifically set up on the NAT front.
Tell us what device you have at both ends and what you have done to set them up for iChat please.
Also is the other end actually an Error 8 like your is ?
Is it Error 4 as this would tend to mean Internet Sharing was turned On and should be Off.
Error 7s are about security features in one of the devices.
