DataProtectionCryptoServiceProvider : does it work?

hi there...
i am in the process of developing an asp.net application which requires data to be encrypted and decrypted on various different machines...up until now i have been relying on the microsoft DPAPI which is called from a serviced component which runs under a known domain user...the fact is that this method does not work for me, i can encrypt and decrypt happily on any given machine, but i cannot encrypt on one machine and then decrypt on another...looking at verious message boards i do not seem to be alone...my question to you is twofold : 1) does your solution rely on the DPAPI? and 2) does the damn thing work in this scenario?
thank you in advance for any ideas
regards

1) Yes, it uses the DPAPI

2) No, probably not.
