[omniORB] omniORB on Laptops?

[ryan.tecco]

I am having trouble working with getting the BOA to initialize on the
various laptops that our group works with. None of these laptops have
hostnames registered with DNS and all of them use DHCP for IP
configuration. Running 'omniNames -start 12345' results in a 'BOA_init
failed, cannot use port 12345'. Port 12345 has nothing running on it,
other ports result in the same error.

What is going on?

Please respond to rtecco@umich.edu, or the list.
