Alan,

This exception has nothing to do with the strong name. When your run
assemblies (strongly named or not) from outside your local machine, they
will run with restricted code access security permissions. You will need to
adjust your .NET policy configuration to grant your assembly the permissions
it needs to execute from a non-local zone (presumably the intranet zone in
this case). For a description of how to do this, see
http://blogs.msdn.com/shawnfa/archive/2003/06/20/57023.aspx.

HTH,
Nicole
