[omniORB] omniORB client with VisiBroker Naming Service

What versions of omniORB do not work with the Visibroker Naming Service?
I am using omniORB 2.6.

Sorry -- I missed a bit of what you said. You did need to update to a
later version of 2.8, but there is another problem. You can't use
ORBInitialHost / ORBInitialPort to specify Visibroker's naming
service, since it's a proprietary mechanism only supported by omniORB
and JavaIDL. You must specify the IOR of Visibroker's name service
with the NAMESERVICE entry of the config file.

Cheers,

Duncan.
