It is usually best to ask the list your question, rather than a specific 
person. But on the assumption that you would accept a response from 
someone other than Duncan here are some suggestions... ;)

Since you are trying callbacks, since the client is contacting the 
server, and since the server is failing to talk to the client, it is 
likely that your client is not identifying itself adequately to the 
server (the client generates an IOR for use by the server during the 
callback. So in fact both programs "client" and "server" operate as both 
client and server).

Make sure that both sides are configured to use "dotted decimal 
addresses" and/or make sure that each side correctly identifies itself 
with a fqdn in the IOR (use catior to display the IOR contents). It 
looks like they are using the loopback interface (127.0.0.1) and that 
might be a problem for identifying machines...
