Remoting under IIS?

I want to develop a remoting application hosted under IIS. The
functionality would be very similar to a chat application, where all
clients see the message (singleton). The client will be a winform
application.

Without any good examples I'm having difficulty putting this all
together. One thing strikes me as being a major potential problem.

The host for the server side will be at my hosting company, where I do
NOT have access to things like the machine configuration. This
Microsoft article:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dndotnet/html/hawkremoting.asp
says:
Note There is currently a bug in ASP.NET that requires the process
identity for the Aspnet_wp.exe worker process be set to either "system"
or a local machine account; the default setting, "machine" in
machine.config is not correctly configured, causing ASP.NET applications
to fail with an error 500, "internal server error" when hosted under IIS
on a domain controller. Arguably, the bug is the lack of documentation
describing how to appropriately configure the machine account.

Does this mean that I can't do what I want?

Thanks for your help.
 
Use web services if at all possible. Remoting can require quite a few
permission tweaks to resource you probably won't have access to using a
hosting company.

Web services are one-way. There's no way for the server to notify a
listener of an event. So web services wouln't do the job.

Looks like I might be out of luck?
