8i <- IIOP -> Java Client Problem

Hope someone can help me - I've been bashing my head against this for days and got nowhere!

I have 8i server running on NT4 (SP4). I have built and installed the helloworld.java example and configured the server for IIOP. If I run the client.java code ON THE SERVER, it connects via IIOP to the instance and works fine. If I run the client ON A DIFFERENT NT machine, it does not work.

The message is "Unknown service"

Net8 works from both machines into the server. I am using IP address not machine name. If I run sess_sh I get "cannot connect to service"

I have run the TNS listener in trace mode and seen that the remote client is connecting over GIOP but it is not getting through to the database. Just to reiterate, running the same code on the server machine (as a client) works OK.

Any ideas? It almost looks like the service passed as part of the IIOP session string is not being picked up by TNS properly. Then again, why does it work on the server machine?

Thanks in advance if you can shed any light on this.
