Allow the server to access the same object which is remoted to the clients
is a frequently occurring problem in remoting. Luckily, the answer is pretty
simple. Currently, you've probably registered your remoting object using
RemotingConfiguration.RegisterWellKnownServerObject(). The problem is that
this method exposes the object anonymously, i.e. the server doesn't have a
reference to this instance.

To fix this, you do two things:

1) Declare and instantiate a named instance of your remote object.
2) Get rid of your call to RegisterWellKnownServerObject() and instead call
RemotingServices.Marshal() on your named object. This will expose the object
so it can accept client requests.

Hope that helps -
