Just add this command line parameter to your app: 

	--ORBNetID=ipaddr


You can also customize argv and create the ORB explicitly:

static CORBA_ORB
create_orb(CORBA_Environment *ev)
{
	CORBA_ORB orb = CORBA_OBJECT_NIL;
	int init_argc = 2;
	char **init_argv = (char**)malloc(sizeof(char*) * (init_argc));
	if (!init_argv)
		return CORBA_OBJECT_NIL;

	init_argv[0] = "DUMMY_ARGV0";
	init_argv[1] = "--ORBNetID=ipaddr";

	// initialize the ORB
	orb = CORBA_ORB_init(&init_argc, init_argv, "orb_orbit-io-thread", ev);
	if (ORBIT2_EX(ev))
		orb = CORBA_OBJECT_NIL;

	free(init_argv);

	return orb;
}

HTH,
