Re: ORBit-0.5.12 name server IOR doesn't work with multiple machines

[Sreeji K Das <bksys vsnl com>]

ORBit by default uses Unix domain sockets. To force it to use inet, start
the server with the options:

-ORBIIOPUSock=0 -ORBIIOPv4=1

Now ior-decode should show u the Host & Port. You can also put those lines
in ur orbitrc.
