Hello all,
I'm currently using the win32ole api to access an application on a
Windows machine using the application's COM interface. I noticed when
reading through the documents for the api that the win32ole constructor
also optionally accepts a server to be defined. This brought up my
question:
Is it possible for me to run the win32api on a Linux machine and use it
to access a Windows application via the application's COM interface over
a network connection?

Thanks!

Unfortunately, I think it is impossible.
I'm not sure and I'have not tried, but if WINE provides DCOM, you could
access Windows application's COM interface from WINE on a Linux machine.

Thanks for the reply. I've thought about this approach, but after
spending a considerable amount of time on it, I was still not able to
get my Windows application to successfully run in WINE.

maybe wait for samba4, or better yet, support them since they are really doing extra ordinary work for free..

Not sure I understand the usefulness of samba4 for solving my current
problem... care to explain?
