There are no extra details to worry about with "properly configured 
computers". But the usual trouble is with DNS discrepancies. You will 
find many threads here on tracking those down, but in my experience if 
you look at the IOR published by the server, make sure that the client 
understands the host name published in the IOR.

I usually use an IOR decoding tool to look at a "stringified IOR" from 
the server. So have the server print that IOR when it starts up or look 
at the IOR as published in the naming service.
