I have had simmiliar problem with omniORB 2.7.0 and servicepack 4 or 6 (
I don't remember) , left unresolved because of lack of time, but maybe
my supensions will help.

Program  won't start as a service as long as it doesn't start manually.
You can start service with output set to command window.
(Services->autostart), to see where the problem is
If program starts manually and doesn't work as a service, there are probably
wrong service parametres set. Especially check all the directry paths given
to the service.

Check if TCP/IP is properly configured, simply by pinging your localhost
using IP address.If it doesn't work and TCP/IP seems to be configured well,
try use servicepack 5 or higher  and let me know if it helps. I've heard
that there are some problems with one of this servicepacks(4 o 6) and
TCP/IP.
