I have a client and a server apllication running in same
machine. When I remove the network cable from the machine,
remoting throw an error.
The server application has singleton class, that has a
method that return an object (objRef) that inherits from
MarshalByRefObject class.
The client application creates the server object and get
de objRef that has a method named GetHour().
When the client calls objRef.GetHour() with the network
cable disconnected, remoting throw an error.
Remenber that cliente and server are running in the same
machine.

Yes, I can send the sample code, but what is the email address?

Ok,
I did this but now I have another problem.
A remote machine running the Client program can't get the remote object.

another machine (remote) can't get the object.

If you specify the IP address of a network interface card, the Media Sense
will disconnet all the connections when you unplug the cable. Therefore,
when you disconnect the cable, the IP address will not be available. That's
the cause of the error you meet.

In order to workaround the issue, you could try:
1. Disable Media Sense for TCP/IP in Windows. Please refer to the article:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb%3ben-us%3b239924
2. Specify machineName="localhost" and useIpAddress="false" on the server
channel definition as the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<system.runtime.remoting>
<application>
<service>
<wellknown
type="ByRefClass.ServerClass,ByRefClass"
objectUri="ServerUri"
mode="Singleton"
/>

</service>
<channels>
<channel ref="tcp" port="8080" machineName="localhost"
useIpAddress="false">
