  Warning: During the installation, and depending on
  the configuration, an Orbix daemon may be
  installed and a Server Manager is registered on the
  daemon. On Windows systems, and specifically
  machines running Windows XP SP2, this call can
  trigger a Windows Security alert, giving a
  registered domain name on the machine, because
  it is occurring on a non-HTTP port with an
  unknown application. The connection is harmless
  for client system. However, the installation may not
  terminate successfully.
  What typically happens is that the following dialog
  box appears:
  ...
  If this is the case, click the Unblock button to
  continue the installation.
  Furthermore, when you start the application, if the
  following dialog box appears:
  ....
