[omniORB] VC++ 6.0 & OmniORB_280 - Link problems

I'm having a problem linking a project, which is basically the echo example, but from inside VC 6.0. I
did everything README.win32 sad + adding omniDynamic280_rt.lib to my lib list, but it doesn't link. I
even check the dir.mak file for the echo sample (using nmake /f dir.mak is working just fine!) but I
could not found something wrong.

This is what I did:
    from README.win32:
     1. Under Build->Settings, select the "C/C++" tab.
     2. In the "Category" box, select "C++ Language". Tick the  "Enable exception handling" box.
     3. In the "Category" box, select "Code Generation". In the  "Use run-time library" box, select
"Multithreaded DLL".
     4. **This is an import step.**
        In the "Category" box, select "Preprocessor". In the   "Preprocessor" box, add the macros
__WIN32__,__x86__.
        If this is NT 4.0, add the macros __NT__ and __OSVERSION__=4 as well.
    5. Select the "Link" tab.
    6. In the "Category" box, select "Input". In the "Object/library modules"    box, add the following
libraries: wsock32.lib, advapi32.lib,   omniORB280_rt.lib, omnithread2_rt.lib
I have also added omniDynamic280_rt.lib, which eliminated some errors (there were 10 initially).

I probably forgot to put some settings, if somebody can help me ....

Here is what I get:
