Perhaps the test machines are misconfigured to use the wrong IP
address. Print out the IOR for the object reference which is failing,
and use catior on it. Check that the address is correct for the
machine. A common problem on Linux machines is that /etc/hosts
includes 127.0.0.1 as the address for the host name, so omniORB uses
127.0.0.1 in IORs. Maybe your Solaris machines have the same problem?

Cheers,

Duncan.
