Is xmlBlaster running on a multi homed server (e.g. more
than one ethernet card)?

Look at this output on xmlBlaster startup:

[...CorbaDriver] Published AuthServer IOR on 192.168.1.2:7609

Is the IP correct? Otherwise force the IP you want with
-iorHost ...

Is a ping working fine on this IP from your client host?

You ClientSub parameters are fine, it should work
(i do this often, so it must be a configuration problem).

IP is OK.
