DCOM Client Cannot Establish CIS Session Using TCP/IP Address

• Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 4.0
• Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0
• Microsoft Windows NT Server, Enterprise Edition version 4.0
• Microsoft Cluster Server

SYMPTOMS

After you install Microsoft Common Object Model Internet Services (CIS) on a computer running Windows NT that is configured with multiple network adapters or with Microsoft Cluster Server, the computer cannot establish a communications link to another computer configured as a Common Object Model (COM) server.

RESOLUTION

To work around this problem, configure the Distributed Object Component Model (DCOM) client to use the cluster server's computer name instead of the TCP/IP address when attempting to establish a communications session between the two computers.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
