Sure, an ActiveX DLL works in any Windows platform, but they
are in proc servers and cannot be running remotely!
To create a remote server, it must be an ActiveX exe, not dll.

If that is not the problem, have you:

1) create the exe with the remote server option?
2) installed the exe in both client and server machines?
3) run dconcnfg on the client machine to set the properties of the exe?
4) You can use CreateObject if you do not want to run dconcnfg (it is what I
do)
