in /etc/omniORB.cfg you have to put :
ORBInitialHost hostname (where hostname is the hostname where your
nameservice is running)
ORBInitialPort 8088   (or other port depending your config)

Well each client needs its own configuration of course (e.g. for omniORB
it is the /etc/omniORB.cfg file pointing to the Naming Service)
You can compare it with DNS (Domain Name System), you also have to
configure your computer to know the IP address of the DNS server which can
tehn provide the IP-hostname translation for you.

The Name Service is constructed for this. But if you did this with a
socket server, you also would have to configure the IP address of theis
socket server, so it remains the same.

This would be strange, the name service would be found by information
which would be present in the name service. Kind of deadlock situation
:-).
