This configuration (working in local and not working in remote), at least at
first sight, seems to me like a OS configuration error. For example, make sure
that your /etc/hosts file contains the name of the machine, and not only
"localhost". Note that if you don't include your machine name into the
/etc/hosts file, ORBit may use "localhost" (or 127.0.0.1) as the IP address of
your machine. This works in local, but *not* in remote.

	Try using "ior-decode" utility to show up how are the IOR of your objects
formed. If you find there the localhost address, then this is the problem.

	Hope this helps.
	Best regards.
	diego.
