Remoting / Communicating Across Domains

[BigDaddyDrew]

Im writing a client/server architecture that is aimed at working across domains. I started by using an HttpChannel over port 80, with the goal of makeing my server a remote object which my client can make remote procedure calls to. Unfortunatly, this didnt work across the domains. (errors about not being able to connect, etc.)

Then I just decided to try out a simple TcpListener/TcpClient connection, with the server listening on port 80. I tried to point the TcpClient at the server machines IP and port 80, but again, connection problems.

Anyone have advice on how to get this to work? Am I approaching it wrong? The end goal is to be able to invoke functions on the server side, and receive return values. The server will run as an NTService...

Thanks!

Take a higher level view of what the framework offers.
check out help topics under .NET Remoting.

An excellent book on the subject is:
Advanced .NET Remoting by Ingo Rammer (Apress)

Do have any kind of access to the other domain? How are you authenticating? How can you see an internal ip from outside the domain? Is the ip static?

Application Domains or Network Domains??
