Hello Larry,
i have programmed pipes with Windows NT for about 8-9 years ago and have 
  made an update of the program two years ago under Windows XP. There 
are differences in the security settings. Under XP it's not allowed to 
connect to the pc by network! You have to set security options when you 
create the pipe on the local machine to allow external access to the pipe.

Afterwards, i would prefer a standard TCP or UDP connection, because 
it's available on every system and i do not see any advantage for using 
the pipes.

In actual projects i use only TCP or UDP - depending what i have to to.
