[slinkelist] Need help with DCOM - Please...

[Dave Kolb]

I'm not positive about 98 but on 95, DCOM will not instantiate a remote
object on the 95 machine from another machine. I think this is also the case
for 98. To test this you can run the client on the same 98 machine to start
the server or just prestart the server and then try to contact the server
from the other machine. Not sure why Microsoft did this. Probably because of
security issues I suppose and/or wanting NT to be the server machine.
