[omniORB] COMM_FAILURE

[Gnanasekaran Thoppae]

Hi,

Thanks to all of them who replied to my namingservice viewer mail.
I used nameclt and ENames viewer and both works! 

Now, I have a different problem.  When I used ENames viewer (java)
with the IOR pasted below [1], I could browse all the contexts bound to
this namingservice.  But when I use nameclt tool of omniORB, I get
COMM_FAILURE error [3].  Since this was a problem earlier when I was
trying to write a client, I decided to look into the namingservice
and since it worked with ENames but not with nameclt, I decided to
test with another namingservice IOR [2] and nameclt seems to work quite
nicely.  This means that the IOR [1] is different from IOR [2] in some
terms.  Obviously they all run in different hosts and different ports.
But I am not sure what differences exist between these 2 nameservice IORs that
causes nameclt to work on one but not on the other.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks.
