Two questions:

Is is possible to do NT to NT Peer to Peer DCOM connection without
having both client and server machines logged in as the same user?

For the life of me I cannot get DCOM to work on Windows 98.  Everytime I
try to connect I get an 'Interface Not Supported' error.  This is after
I have made sure my client machine has registered the server, etc.  I
can get it to work fine hitting a DCOM server on NT.  Are there any
tricks to getting DCOM to work properly on Win98??

Thanks in advance!

Yes. Security is tricky. I suggest you read up on COM security on MSDN.
Particularly topics on domain accounts and NTLM authentication. This is one
of the areas where MTS (and COM+) has made huge improvements on.

You mean 98 as your server machine? If yes, DCOM on 9x doesn't support
remote activation. This means that you'll first have to manually run your
server on a 9x machine before remote clients can connect to it.

have fun

Tod,

I was having the exact same problem when I had my network running under
NetBUEI.  After I removed it and went strickly internet TCP everything
worked aok, though a little bit slow.  I've recently set my up lan to work
on the IPX protocol and things seem to still work.  Just make sure your
using an IP for the remote machine vs. computer name, I can't quite remember
if this was the "real" problem.

Also, make sure you have the default properties page in win98 set to <none>
and impersonate.
