IPC Remoting not working properly

Okay... heres what I'm running into.... basically I have two assemblies
trying to communicate with eachother by using IPC to connect from one to the
other (A->B and B->A), B->A is working fine, but A->B is not working, I'm
catching an exception when it tries to call a method defined in a shared
interface that's saying "Could not load file or assembly 'AssemblyB,
Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=99eb5f1db5441bcf' or one of
its dependencies.

Now here is the real kicker. It works great if I host the AssemblyB remoting
interface in an EXE style assembly, but not in a DLL hosted by Explorer.exe.
This is a deskband meant for the task bar, and it needs to receive updates
from the other assembly.....

Here is some sample code:

IDictionary properties           = new System.Collections.Hashtable();
properties["portName"]           = "Deskband_" +
Shared.Common.NormalizedUsername;
properties["authorizedGroup"]    = "everyone";
localChannel                     = new IpcChannel(properties, null, null);
ChannelServices.RegisterChannel(localChannel, false); RemotingConfiguration.RegisterWellKnownServiceType(typeof(BandRemotingService), "Remoting", WellKnownObjectMode.Singleton);

If you can help me fix this, you can have my first born!!! (just kidding)

Thanks in advance!
