Connecting to a socket on remote machine from within a dcom object

Hi

I want to implement a dcom component . The component runs on one machine. the machine is connected to a device via the ethernet card.The device listens at a particular port for input and performs functions according to the input and returns back the status at another well defined port. I have to call the dcom object from a second computer and the component should connect to the device at the specified port and get back the response.

I have used ATL to create the dcom component
interfaces but dont know how to implement the method tht would connect to socket on the device.

Please do help. It would be nice if you could give some code
