Others have mentioned that you should use the -ORBInitRef argument to
the MICO client to specify the naming service location. I have another
comment...

You should not use the -ORBendPoint option to omniNames unless you are
doing something special. The first time you run omniNames you should
use the -start argument, either on its own if you want to use the
default port of 2809, or with a port number for a different port. The
way you are running it will cause it to listen on two different ports.

Cheers,

Duncan.
