I forgot to say that that I tried this way.

# pyorbit
orb = ORBit.CORBA.ORB_init("ORBIIOPIPv6=1")
orb = ORBit.CORBA.ORB_init("-ORBIIOPIPv6=1")

or simple:

orb = ORBit.CORBA.ORB_init()

and
# ~/.orbitrc
ORBIIOPIPv6=1

but always when I try send a message to corba object i throw exception. I made conclusion that this parameter is probably used only on server ORBit for object reference creation.

On google I found an article (very old) where they say IPv6 is only working between ORBit client and ORBit server.
