COMM_FAILURE

[Katherine Goude <katherine goude baesystems com>]

I'm trying to run a test client and server over a network between two
machines. If I run the server on one machine and the client on the
other, everything works fine. However if I swap these over and run the
server on the second machine, when I start the client on the first
machine I get the exception: "IDL:CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0".

Anyone know what might be causing this? Both machines contain a
~/.orbitrc file containing the line ORBIIOPIPv4=1. And it shouldn't be a
problem with the IOR passing between server and client because I'm still
using the highly technical method of cut and paste at the moment. The
lack of online help for ORBit has left me a bit stuck. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Katherine

P.S. I'm using ORBit2-2.3.108
