[slinkelist] DCOM in a Peer to Peer Network

[Ian Cole]

You can't run multiple copies of CDJ at one time - if you intend to only run
one at a time, then no problem, dcom will work, even though it is a royal
pain to setup, and is slow to connect at startup.

VNC works well if you want to be able to use CDJ from both machines
simultaneously.

I leave CDJ running all the time on a single machine, then use DCOM from the
other room when needed.
