[omniORB] is there an omniORBpy mentor out there I can bother until I get up to speed?

I don't know what you mean by "domain nomenclature". Put an entry of
the form

  ORBInitRef NameService=corbaname::myhostname

either in the Windows registry or a file called omniORB.cfg, replacing
"myhostname" with the name of the machine running omniNames.

The configuration file is traditionally called omniORB.cfg, but
omniORB doesn't care what you call it, or what the extension is. If
you use a file, just the OMNIORB_CONFIG environment variable to the
full path name of the file.

You must give the IOR string that the server printed out to the
client, on the command line.

  example_echo_clt.py IOR:...lots of hex digits
