Sounds like you have not set up your initial references - guess you do
not have an omniorb config file. If you want to set the initial
nameservice ref on the command line, run the client as

  client -ORBInitRef NameService=corbaname::localhost:1088

since I assume that your orbd is running at localhost on port 1088.

Alternatively you can set the initial refs in the config file like this

  [omni at jhje-linux omniORB-4.0.1]$ echo $OMNIORB_CONFIG
  /home/omni/omniORB-4.0.1/corba.cfg
  [omni at jhje-linux omniORB-4.0.1]$ cat corba.cfg
  InitRef = NameService=corbaname::nameserver.domain.com:1088
  [omni at jhje-linux omniORB-4.0.1]$

and just run the client without command line parameters.

Hope this helps
