The real difference between .net remoting and xml web services is:

.net remoting uses tcp channel or http channel or smtp channel or ftp channel in order to communicate with the remote objects which reside on the server which is located in different application domain. Here again tcp channel is used for intranet based implementation where as http channel is used for both intranet and internet based implementaions..Net Remoting provides better and faster way of communication as compared to the web services.But they involve complex programming and difficult to deploy..Net remoting uses formatter classes (binary and soap) to serialize and deserialize the data which has to be transmitted on to the network.Remote objects can be hosted on another .Net managed exe file or in IIS or in .net component services which take the advantage of com+ services which include transactions, object life time and object pooling.It provides .NET TO .NET communication between homogeneous and heterogeneous platforms

Web services are used to publish the services on the server using xml based transmission and are completely managed by the web server(IIS).It uses Soap via Http for transferring the messages on to the network..towards business to business implementations...different vendors communicate with different software's...for this requirement..web services can be used...they are easy to develop and deploy...but there is a limitation on the number of objects which can be serialized..only the data types that are defined in the xsd type system are supported for serialization..

These are small differences for enough to get into an interview...
