Re: Need help in DCOM

Hello,

It is not possible to use Dcom over a firewall, execpt if the
administrators open up the dcom port, which is a bad thing to do....
For this you need to create a kind of webservice with or soap or .net...

Hi Manikandan,

First thing is that I do not get this:

i installed server in one machine which is in another
 machine and client in one machine which is in another machine

Do you mean different subnets or networks? If so you must set the
default gateway for client and server. And by the way did you set DCOM
setting on the client specially "Run component on this computer:
myServer"?

Second thing is that I believe you must have given server name (computer
name or NetBIOS name) when you used clireg32.exe, I am not sure if it
works with IP address. I think you had better try that as well.
