Slow DCOM Activation on non-Admin share connection

I have a DCOM server on a machine and the client on another machine. whenever I Compile and connect using an admin share(D$) the DCOM Server connects right away, but if I just use a regular share it takes forever and a day to initialize. Naturally I don't want to have to give users access to the admin share. I read Microsoft's article on Slow DCOM activations on Multi-homed machines(Q288886), but that didnt solve my problem. Any help on this would be appreciated.
 
I just found the problem... Just in case anyone else runs into the problem it has to do with the fact that the share name I was using had a space in it, and DCOM didn't like that. That was the actual reason why the ADMIN share worked; had nothing to do with rights. If anyone knows why the space would cause a delay please let me know so I can get this confused look off my face.
