[omniORB] nameServer Connection - localhost vs. 127.0.0.1

[Michael Jäntsch]

Hi,

ok, I now found the problem.

For those who are interested:
The PC where it did not work was set up to use ipv6 for localhost
::1     localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback (in /etc/hosts)

I am not sure why that made the whole communication break but it did.
Maybe some problem with omniOrb and ipv6???

regards
Michael Jäntsch
