I suspect that inter-host DO on windows might currently be broken ...  
it's an awful long time since I tried it, and if nobody is actively  
using it, it could have bit-rotted at some point.  You might try a  
simple test with an old release, just to check if this is the case.   
It was certainly fine a few years ago before we moved to using host- 
local connections by default.

Using socket ports directly is trickier than using NSConnection, so  
perhaps not a great idea.

I'm away this weekend, so I can't look at this stuff for a while.  If  
you find this is actually a bug in base, please file a report at https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=gnustep
