I am curious why IIS must be alive for TCP remoting services. What is ISS
doing with this? Can I have remoting without IIS?

Dim channel As New TcpChannel(8888)

ChannelServices.RegisterChannel(channel)

Dim ref1 As ObjRef = RemotingServices.Marshal(MyRemotingServer,
"object1uri")

IIRC it uses IIS to do the TCP communication. To do your own, you need to
build a stand alone socket server to handle the TCP. We use Indy
(http://www.indyproject.org). Its free and we've built many custom
ASP.NET/.NET servers with it.
