i still have the same problem after an upgrade off gcc to version
2.95.2,
used to rebuild both ORBit 0.5.3 and my program.
However i have noticed that the client could contact the server if both
when run on the same IRIX host.
Does anyone has pointers to how IOR are generated ? I'd like to look at
ORBit
code to see why 255.255.255.255 is generated on these IRIX boxes.

Thanks.
