Configure DCOM Timeout

[Igor Lisbaron]

Hello Everyone,

Is There any way to configure DCOM timeouts ?
My problem is: that when I call a CoCreateInstance in order to create the
remote DCOM
Server my program hangs inside the function for about 40-60 sec.

Thanks
Igor.

No. If the remote DCOM server doesn't respond after 6 minutes, the proxy is
broken down, and an error is returned to the client. Unfortunately, this is
not configurable.

And why is that? Have you traced into it?

Then this is expected behaviour.

You can 'ping' the server ahead of time, using the technique illustrated by
the most excellent Shawn Van Ness at [1]
