I am trying to create a web control that accesses the client's scanner (that functionality will be handled using Leadtools image processing library). I have downloaded a sample project from Leadtools suport forum and have gotten it to work as local host. lead tools thread [leadtools.com]
The problem is that when I try to access the webapp from a different machine or from my own machine using my local IP instead of http://localhost i get the index.html page to display, but the embedded control appears as a plain white box with the 'missing object' icon in the upper left corner (its a red square, green circle, and blue triangle. I tried to find a picture of it but Im sure you've all seen it before. It is not a plain red x though) As i said the object works fine using localhost but otherwise IIS serves the page but not the dll for the object i guess.
If there isn't some setting or configuration thing i am missing I would be more than happy with some links to tutorials or documentation on creating COM objects that can be downloaded by the client, or how security works in such a case. I hate to ask questions like this but with all of my searching I can't seem to find any solid explanation of how this type of web application publishing works.
Thanks in advance
edit: I forgot to mention I am using VB.net in VS2008, and i believe the LeadTools libraries I am using target .net framework 2.0
and here is the embed tag i am using:
