[omniORB] a beginner's question

[Jian Peng]

Hi, everyone,

Thank you guys for your reply. After I changed the VC settings, my
program compiled. And now I have a new question. We have a Linux
machine running omniORB2.4, and I want to access corba servers from my
Windows NT machine. Attached is my code to access the naming service
on the Linux machine - machine name is scooter - from my windows
machine. I ran my program as:

list2 -ORBInitRef NameService=iioploc://scooter:1358/NameServie

And I got this error:

CORBA::ORB_init failed: unknown ORB argument  <-ORBInitRef>

So what's the correct way to access the naming service from my windows
machine?

Thank you all for your kindly help!

Jian
