There are two aspects for this.
First, what does the security permissions on the DCOM object allow access
to. this you can adjust from:
    - run mmc
    - add the "component service"
    - expand to Computers->My Computer->DCOM config
    - Select the DCOM object, right click and select "properties"
    - select the "Security" tab and adjust to whom you wish to grant access.

Second need to be able to authenticate to the remote machine. this can be:
    - the user on the client machine can authenticate (like if this is a
domain environment and this user is a domain user) and the DCOM object
allows access to that user (use above)
    - same local user exists on both machines with the same password and the
DCOM object allows access to that user (use above)
    - Guest account is enabled on the remote machine, in which case your
client account will be authenticated as guest on the remote machine and the
DCOM object allows access to Guest (use above)
        the last option though allows who have access to the machine to
logon as guest and allows any one to access that DCOM object and thus this
last approach is weakest and should only be used in a closed environment.
