That means, that no IIOP IPv4 server connection is opened so it simply can't
work.

So there is an error in that file. Dont use the dashes. It should read:

ORBIIOPUSock=1
ORBIIOPIPv4=1
ORBIIOPIPv6=0
 
This has changed sometimes in the past, I'm not sure when and admittedly it is
not described right in the ORBit FAQ 2b). Michael, could you have a look?

Bye,
Sebastian
