DCOM workgroup problem

[pscutts]

I am having trouble configuring a dcom component in a workgroup. CoCreateInstance is failing. The same component works when using an NT domain server. Using dcomcnfg I have changed the default authentication level to none. On the security tab I have given everyone full access. I have also double checked the default network protocols. I don't know what else to try. What things do I have to watch out for when using DCOM components in a workgroup with no domain server? One final thing. I have made sure to have a user account on the server machine that is identical to the client that it trying to use the component. Any help would be appreciated. You can email me at:

check on client... I think server and client must have the same authentication level...

When using dcomcnfg, did you check the options for running the server on the remote system? When you select the server properties from the list in dcomcnfg, and set the location to that of the remote system, are you able to browse to the server or do you simply enter its name? If the latter, perhaps the IP address would work. It may be a name resolution problem.
