[omniORB] How to force Omniorb 4.0 to use a certain IP address?

[David Bellette]

Hi Rick

You can specify the IP address (and optionally port) to bind the servants to using the command line parameter

-ORBpoa_iiop_name_port <hostname[:port_no]>

This corrects the problem when multiple network interfaces are configured.

More information can be found on page 64 of the omniORB users guide.

> Both my client and server have two network cards. For both computers, one network card is used to access the intranet.
The other card (for both) is used to create a fast peer to peer network for the client and server to talk to each other
via omniorb. I am running windows 2000 on both the client and server.
> The client and server can find each other only if I enable the network cards in a certain order. If I enable the
intranet first,on both, everything seems to work fine. If I enable the peer to peer cards first, callbacks start to
fail.
> Is there a way  to force omniorb 4.0 to always look at the the peer to peer ip address and to forget about the
intranet?
