Remote access is defaulted to OFF in Windows 9x DCOM. You must configure Windows for remote access to allow it to be remotely configured by Priority Packet.

On Windows 98 original release:

1. Configure the system for user level access control in the network configuration.
2. Click Start/Run and enter DCOMCNFG.EXE. This file is normally in the Windows\system directory.
3. Click the "default security" tab.
4. Check the box titled "Enable remote connection".

Incorrect entries may cause Windows 95/98 to no longer function. Please have a complete backup of your hard drive before continuing, including the hidden registry files, SYSTEM.DAT and USER.DAT.
