Running the applet through the appletviewer on the same machine all goes well, but when I try to run the applet remotely, resolving the reference to the NamingContext result in a null reference.

Here the code:

			

			

			hostValue=getParameter("ORB_INITIAL_HOST");
			

			

			if (hostValue==null){
			

			

			hostValue=HOST_VALUE;
			

			

			}
			

			

			

			portValue=getParameter("ORB_INITIAL_PORT");
			

			

			if
			

			(portValue==null){
			

			

			portValue=PORT_VALUE;
			

			

			}
			

			

			

			Properties props=new Properties();
			

			

			props.put(HOST_PROPERTY,hostValue);
			

			

			props.put(PORT_PROPERTY,portValue);
			

			

			

			// Initialize the ORB.
			

			

			showStatus("Initializing the ORB");
			

			

			

			

			try
			

			

			{
			

			

			orb = org.omg.CORBA.ORB.init(this,props);
			

			

			}
			

			

			catch (Exception e)
			

			

			{
			

			

			System.out.println("Exception during ORB inizialization");
			

			

			}
			

			

			

			// Get a reference to the Naming service
			

			

			org.omg.CORBA.Object nameServiceObj =null;
			

			

			

			try
			

			

			{
			

			

			nameServiceObj = orb.resolve_initial_references ("NameService");
			

			

			}
			

			

			catch (Exception e)
			

			

			{
			

			

			System.out.println("Exception during...");
			

			

			}
			

			

		

The HTML file containing the applet tag
specify the tho parameters ORB_INITIAL_HOST (the host on which the tnameserv is running) and ORB_INITIAL_PORT (the port on which the tnameserv is listening).
Some suggestions?
