DCOM Automation error -2147023149

[Fenton]

Hi,

I have a client app that runs on a win95 pc that talks to a dcom component on an NT4 sp6 box. When I try to run the client I get the above error. I can run the client app no problem on the NT box, and from any other NT box, but it fails to work on win95. The DCOM component does use a 3rd party COM dll that will only run on NT (that was the main reason for going DCOM as our users have 95 as the OS), but this shouldn't cause any problems as the DCOM component runs on NT!?

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

I'm assuming you've properly registered the DCOM component on your clients -- have you installed DCOM95 on your Win 95 clients?

DCOM is a major pain in the butt when it comes to security, have you enabled security for everyone for that component thru DCOMCNFG? This still might be a problem if the security will only allow trusted users, as I don't think that the Win95 clients have the ability to authenticate with NT......

Fiddled about with security and that has fixed it. You have been my saviour!!!
