Hi Duncan , thanks for your comments.

There isn't a server process running and server machine is contactable.

I show you how to run this eg2 example step by step.
The hostA is server machine , the hostB is client machine.

1. In the hostA, I start the eg2_svr. eg2_svr outputs IOR as below.

% eng/eg2svr -ORBendPointPublish giop:tcp:10.21.161.27:
  IOR:000000000000000d49444c3a4563686f3a312e3000000000000000010000000
  00000064000102000000000d31302e32312e3136312e32370000d6d70000000efe4
  910edbf044700000000000000000000000002000000000000000800000000415454
  00000000010000001c0000000000010001000000010501000100010109000000010
  0010109

The hostA has multi network interfaces as below.

% ifconfig lan0
  lan0: flags=1843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,CKO>
        inet 10.21.161.27 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 10.21.161.255
% ifconfig lan1
  lan1: flags=1842<BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,CKO>
        inet 10.21.162.27 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 10.21.162.255

The lan1 is directly connected to another host (this means no router, 
bridge .. etc) so make endPoint fix to lan0 with -ORBendPointPublish .

---------------------------------------------------------------------
2. In the hostB, I start the eg2_clt as below.

% eng/eg2clt IOR:..(this is output of eg2svr)
  -> It works fine. (I said, "Hello!".The Echo object replied, "Hello!
"....)

----------------------------------------------------------------------
3. In the hostA, I stop the eg2_svr.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
4. In the hostB, I start the eg2_clt again.

% eng/eg2clt IOR:.. -ORBtraceLevel 25 -ORBtraceThreadId 1 -ORBtraceTime 
1
  -> It blocks.
  


The information of IOR is below, which is output by catior.

Type ID: "IDL:Echo:1.0"
Profiles:
1. IIOP 1.2 10.21.161.27 54999 POA(root) 0x00000000  (4 bytes)

I attach client log of 2. as eg2clt_ok.4.1.3.log, and
client log of 4. as eg2clt_ng.4.1.3.log.

There isn't a server process running, while eg2clt blocks.

On the condition of 2. I can connect to by telnet 
and on the condition of 4, I can't connect to as below.

% telnet 10.21.161.27 54999
Trying...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused


> Does eg2 work when client and server are on the same machine?

eg2clt throws TRANSIENT exception when client and server are on the same 
machine. ( when there isn't a server process running )

I attach client log as eg2clt_ng.4.1.3_samehost.log.
