[omniORB] Problems using multiple network cards

[Dalkouhi Ramin MES/GRZ]

Hello there,

My name is Ramin, working for a company located in Graz/Austria we are
faced the fact that our OmniORB based server does not seem to handle
multiple network-cards correctly. Our client/server architecture is
quite simple, focusing on single-client/single-server on Windows 2000/XP
only. At startup of OmniNames, all known interfaces are listed, even
those not even being connected to a network at all. It seems as
OmniNames chooses the first IP-Adress as the one to pass on to
registering server-applications which is not correct in our case. Here
is a short snippet of omniNames output, the 192.168.x.x IP is wrong, we
would like the server to use the other IP (157.247.x.x):

We already played around with endPoint settings and clientTransportRules
to make the system work, but failed:

// Allow both interface, also tried it using only the first one
endPoint = giop:tcp:157.247.28.148:
endPoint = giop:tcp:192.168.13.10:

// On client side, also tried it with 157.247.0.0/255.255.0.0
clientTransportRule =     157.247.28.148/255.255.255.255
unix,tcp,ssl,bidir

// Disallow any other adress
clientTransportRule = * none

Thanks for your help in advance and sorry for posting such a long mail,
Best regards,

Ramin
