I'm trying to set up server/client apps for distributing objects.

I can't seem to get the client proxy to work.  My server app shows up
in Bonjour fine.  But, my client icon only bounces in the dock after
execution.  How do I get this proxy to work?

/*  MY SERVER CODE */

- (id)init
{
    self = [super init];

    if ( self )
   {
       port = [[NSSocketPort alloc] init];
       
       connection = [NSConnection connectionWithReceivePort:port sendPort:nil];
       
       [[NSSocketPortNameServer sharedInstance] registerPort:port name:@"server"];
    }
   
    return self;
}

- (void)printString:(NSString *)message
{
   printf("%s\n", [message cString]);
}

/*  MY CLIENT CODE */

- (id)init
{
    self = [super init];

    if ( self )
   {
       port = [[NSSocketPortNameServer sharedInstance]
portForName:@"server" host:@"*"];
       
       connection = [NSConnection connectionWithReceivePort:nil sendPort:port];
       
       proxy = [[connection rootProxy] retain];
   }
   
    return self;
}

- (IBAction)sayHelloToTheServer:(id)sender
{
   [proxy printString:@"hello from a distance."];
}
