Invalid Cast during CreateObject -- dotnet component services

We have begun to migrate our applications over to XP....
our components run just fine under 2000... but when we
put the code on a XP based machine... and request it
talks to a 2000AS based server for it's objects.... we
get an INVALID CAST error....

When we pull the 2000AS server out of the line-up... and
run all the components on the XP box.... things run
fine..... almost like the XP box doesn't want to talk
nice to the 2000AS server....

Any ideas out there.... or experience with this type of
error/behaviour ?

TIA

Windows XP has a peculiar default setting impacting fall-back
authentication ( in workgroup). Try setting that to "Classic" , which
is Win2000 dafault, and see if this helps. Note that "Classic"
setting is less secure than the XP default.
