getting help on DCOM is tough. I went to :
http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/components/com/tutorial/Remclien.aspIt gave a few options that just displayed the errors that NT was passing back to COM or VFP, either way no real info.
Then I found this nugget:
Note: If you manually specify such values and later wish to connect either machine to an existing corporate client-server network, you should first delete this IP address information. In the Network option of the Windows NT Control Panel, choose the Protocols tab and select the TCP/IP protocol in the list box. In the Microsoft TCP/IP Properties dialog box, click the Obtain An IP Address From a DHCP Server button. Save this change, and then restart Windows NT.
DCOM will not work if TCP/IP is installed but the machine has no assigned IP address. This situation may show up as error 0x80070776 (The object exporter specified was not found) returned from a failed CoGetClassObject or CoCreateInstance call.<\b>
The operation of DCOM uses some entries in the registry to control DCOM. You can use the REGEDIT, DCOMCNFG, or OLEVIEWER tools to manually view and edit these entries. DCOM can be configured by default so that only machine accounts with Administrator privilege can remotely start and access objects of existing COM component classes. This restriction is set as a configurable machine-wide default registry entries on the remote machine. It is located in the registry as follows
>I am trying to createobjex(clsid,servername)
>
>I get an error back 0x8007076: The object exporter specified was not found.

>Any ideas on this, as to what is in error. I am running a W2K peer to peer network with no SERVER.
