Much ado about DCOM [Resolved]

[Dave Sell]

Hi,

I have used this forum and MSDN as references, but still I cannot get my DCOM client to attach to my DCOM server.

1) I created the server EXE and set it to Binary Compatible, solidifying its CLSID.

2) I created a client which can use CreateObject and get an instance of the server. This works on both PCs on my LAN, the Client PC and the Server PC.

3) I ran the server EXE on the Client PC to "register" it with the system.

4) I can run the client EXE on the Client PC and get it to instantiate an instance of the server EXE.

5) I change the Client PC settings in the DCOMCFGMGR to activate DCOM communications, as seen by the following pics.

6) I set up the server to listen for Clients.

7) When I run the client EXE on the Client PC, I get the error in GIF_1.

GIFs 1-5 are the Client PC DCOM configuration.

Can you see where I am going wrong?

GIFs 6-10 are the Server PC DCOM configuration.

Thanks for showing me the way!

Dave
