VPN and DCOM 1

[ggentile]

Hi Everyone,
I am having a problem with a VPN connection that travels through a firewall then uses DCOM to
run a program on a MTS server. I have configured the OBDC and DCOM on the client side. VPN seems to be working fine, I can see all the systems logged in,copy files,and run other applications but when it comes to running a home grown application that uses DCOM I have an error coming up that says it can not see the remote server. Does anybody have any suggestions????
Regards

Hai,
If you are using DCOM across firewalls ,probably it doesnt work since DCOM protocal is not firewall friendly.DCOM expects portno 330 to be open and in general if firewall is there that port will be always closed.So you cannot instantiate an object across firewalls using DCOM.
hope you understood.
If you need any further clarrifications pls let me know..
Bye,
Nag.
