Stringifying an IOR (using orb.object_to_string) and then unstringifying
it (using orb.string_to_object) should produce an IOR which is exactly
equivalent to the original.

That's one possibility.  You can check this theory by trying to telnet
from the radio to the IP address and port specified in the IOR (you can
obtain the IP address and port from a stringified IOR using the "catior"
tool).

Another possibility is that you've forgotten to activate the POA manager
in your cygwin server.  This would cause all incoming calls to be
blocked, though outgoing calls could be working fine.

Regards,
Luke.
