Anyone mastered RTD techonology yet?
 

2 computers in the same network domain.

From
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?
url=/library/en-us/dnexcl2k2/html/odc_xlrtdbuild.asp I
downloaded and registered RTDTime.dll to try simplest
example:
=RTD("RTDTime.RTD",,"Now")

Works fine locally (Excel 2002). However I can't get same
function to work
from each other server. (lets say node1 and node2)

=RTD("RTDTime.RTD","Node1","Now") or vice versa!

I went thru article
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-
us;285888 (DCOM and
RTD) and added 'Everyone' with full access to all 3
configurations in Dcom
(on both computers).
My default Authentication level is 'Connect' and default
Impersonation level
is 'Identify' and DCOM is enabled. I restarted both
computers and
even tried =RTD("RTDTime.RTD","Node1.DomainName","Now")

It's a very simple example (you can find it in the first
link). If someone
who has tried it could tell me any tips that would be
great. Thank you.

If you are in a peer to peer network you must set None in authentication level (client and server) and identity in your server impersonation level and impersonate in your client impersonation level. In your server you must flag surrogate with OLEVIEW Program if you make a .dll and not an .exe file. In your application's proprietes on your server (dcomcnfg) you must check interactive user like identity and list in access and launch permission the users: system, everyone, interactive
