Com+ NetBios Problem

hello All,

   I Made a Com+ component and i deployed it on the network as client server application. i had problem when my windows application trying to communicated with the server. i asked a lot and they told me that microsoft still user netbios and RPC to implement the comunication between the server and the client. my network not support for the netbios protocol.

1- my network has to subnet (server 192.168.1.1 client 192.168.0.1)

    Thanks for your time and support.

    Best regards,

    Unfortunatly there is no easy way to implement what you are trying to do without enabling the netbios protocol.

    Microsoft do indeed still rely heavily on Netbious and Remote Procedure Call (RPC) for communications between com components.

    If your network is unable to create a netbios or RPC connection then the only suggestion i can make it to redesign the way your components communicate with each other to maybe use an available protocol such as TCP\IP or UDP.

    Also you may find issues with the firewall when you enable netbios and try to communicate with the component on your server from the client pc.
