Remote access of PXI (5152) via Ethernet cable..from Laptop

Hi,  I have the following setup.
   PXI 1002 chasis
         PXI 8175 controller
         PXI 6025E DAQ card
         PXI 5152 scope
          PXI 6602 counter timer.

Currently I am not using RealTime.

    I have written a program that uses the counter timer for triggering an external circuit board and the scope for data acquisition. I need to run the vi on my laptop and get access to the PXI devices.

I have connected the Laptop to the PXI using a cross over LAN cable and configured manual IP addresses and identical subnet masks on both systems. If i run the Remote Device Access Server(RDA) on the PXI chasis, I can access the 6025E card and a portion of the 6602 card also. I can see them from MAX directly.But how can I access the scope, as the RDA server works only with DAQ devices.

I tried creating a new remote system.from MAX...but it is showing an error "unable to communicate with remote system"

What I want is a method to configure the PXI system as a remote device on my Laptop.so that I can see the PXI cards in NI MAX on my laptop.

I would like to see if I can do this without having to get a new express card.

Please help!! I am newbie with remote systems.
Thanks in advance!!
