By "break down",  do you mean "doesn't work",  or
"works sometimes"?

If "doesn't work",  your code was missing the most important clue
for us: the named of the pipes.

              Local pipe name  |     Remote pipe name
            -------------------|------------------------
 Server       \pipe\foo        |     \pipe\foo
                               |
 Client       \pipe\foo        |     \\computer\\pipe\foo
                               |


A common error is to try to add a computer name in the server process. A
server process Creates pipes,  a client pipe Opens pipes. 
Therefore,DosCreateNPipe() will never,  under ANY circumstances,  contain
"\\computer".
