Thanks for the help!  After solving a hosts problem, everything works now -
the rest of this message is for the benefit of people who had the same
problem.

So now I start the name server like this:

> orbit-name-server -ORBIIOPIPv4=1 -ORBIIOPUSock=0


When I decoded the IOR, I was getting:

> /usr/src/ORBit-0.5.12/test/ior-decode [pasted IOR]

The host was 127.0.0.1, so my remote client still couldn't reach it.


Then I changed /etc/hosts from:

> 127.0.0.1 landau localhost.localdomain localhost


To:

> 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
> 192.168.0.1 landau

(192.168.0.1 is the real IP address of "landau" - the server)


Now the decoded IOR says:

I start my server with:

> ./server -ORBIIOPIPv4=1 -ORBIIOPUSock=0 -ORBNamingIOR=`cat ior`


And my client on a separate machine, using the same (NFS-mounted) project
directory:

> ./client -ORBIIOPIPv4=1 -ORBIIOPUSock=0 -ORBNamingIOR=`cat ior`


All is good!
