>>You need to build an EXE (out-of-process) for DCOM, not an in-process DLL. See the docs in Chapter 16, "Adding OLE" and find "Compiling the Server":

It won't happen. DLLs are by definition In-process, which means they share the memory space and the security context of the process that called them. "Memory space" and processes cannot be shared across machines. An exe runs in its own memory space, and can be configured to impersonate a particular user account- something required to run on a different machine.
