See our DCOM Security Page about this. This discusses multiple issues regarding DCOM access on the PNA including the difficulties of using events in DCOM. Also, if using XP with Service Pack 2, make sure Windows Firewall is properly configured to allow access; see our XP-SP2 page. Finally, under My Computer, Tools, Folder Options, make sure you do not have “Use simple file sharing” checked. Enabling this will prevent all DCOM access.
