[omniORB] Object reference Nil

[Rama]

I am not sure why this happens
when i set the InitRef in OmniOrb.cfg

InitRef=corbaname::SERVERIP:PORT/NameService#vts/soa/ConnectionFactory/1966
OR
InitRef=corbaname::SEVERIP:PORT
OR when i call
CORBA::Object_ptr obj=orb->string_to_object("corbaname::SERVERIP:PORT/NameService#vts/soa/ConnectionFactory/1966")

I always get a COMM_FAILURE error 

But when i run the OmniNames with the above settings and then copy the IOR string generated on my DOS output to the OmniOrb.cfg file and comment the previous Initref value with this new IOR i dont get any COMM_FAILURE ERROR, i can see from the trace that i am able to connect to the server, but my OBJECT REFERENCE is always NIL while narrowing the context to the factory object.
Pl find attached the trace log and the sample of the code is shown below

CORBA::Object_var obj = orb->resolve_initial_references("NameService");
CosNaming::NamingContext_var rootContext;
rootContext=CosNaming::NamingContext::_narrow(obj);

 if (CORBA::is_nil(rootContext)){
    MessageBox("Cannot narrow references to type  NameContext","Error",MB_ICONSTOP | MB_OK); orb->destroy();
 return;
 }
 VtsSoaApi::VtsSoaConnectionFactory_var connectionRef=VtsSoaApi::VtsSoaConnectionFactory::_narrow(obj);
          
 if (CORBA::is_nil(connectionRef)){
       MessageBox("Cannot narrow references to type NameContext","Error",MB_ICONSTOP | MB_OK);
		  orb->destroy();
		  return;

		 }
