CreateObject on dll occasionally fails

[Wootham]

Hi. I am running MTS on an NT 4.0 sp6 server. In MTS I have several objects created in vb5. My clients are running a front end also written in vb5.
Occasionally (2-4 times a day out of about 200 calls to an oject), we are seeing errors in the NT event log such as this: The server {clsID} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout.
I have found that these errors are coming at the time I instantiate the object using CreateObject(dll). I am using early binding, but not New. It has been suggested to Dim using WithEvents. Will this help me? Any other suggestions?

are your objects set to single use?

I believe they are set for multiple, but we found the problem to be HARDWARE related - apparently the nic card on our database server was crapping out and throwing many errors. I learned that sometimes things go wrong from causes other than code. Can you imagine that?
