CreateNamedPipe and CreateFile on Win98

[Ceri]

Hi, I have a server app that uses CreateNamedPipe using a NULL DACL so that everyone has permission to read/write to it. I then have a client that uses CreateFile to read and write to the pipe. In XP this works on remote machines no problem, the server can be running on one machine and the client on another and the CreateFile returns a valid handle. On 98 CreateFile returns access denied, which eludes me because the pipe is created with a NULL DACL. Can anybody shed some light on the issue. Thanks
