In our department, someone set it up with the
keyHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORL\omniORB\2.0 (create it if it doesn't
exist). Add a string value (known as a REG_SZ data type when using REGEDT32)
called NAMESERVICE, and paste the IOR in to the value field associated with
it.

An alternative to the above possibility would be the setting of an
environment variable OMNIORB_CONFIG, which contains the full path name of a
file (usually called "omniORB.cfg"). This file contains:NAMESERVICE
IOR:000000.......
where the number after 'IOR:' is what the nameservice prints out at first
startup.

By the way, this is all described in the documentation, chapter "Setting up
your environment".
