The problem is that .NET will not load DLLs which are not local to the machine. You need to increase the trust level of the local network (intranet) to fix this problem.
a) Start->Settings->Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Configuration->My Computer->Runtime Security Policy (see <image1>)
b) Click on: Adjust internet zone> Next -> Local Intranet
c) Adjust the level of trust to Full Trust (see <image2>)
