Now when i run the nmake command in given examples its giving fatal error
error -NMAKE : fatal error U1073: don't know how to make 'anyExample.idl'

First and off topic: Why are you using VC++6? VC++9 Express Edition is
free as far as I understand.

* There is no need to start the naming service yet if you can't get the
examples to compile.

* You may want to start with the simplest example, it's in the directory
echo. The file eg1.cc:
// eg1.cc - This is the source code of example 1 used in Chapter 2
// "The Basics" of the omniORB user guide.
...

* As for your error message: You need omniidl.exe to build the c++ stubs
from the .idl file: [omniidl -bcxx echo.idl]
