Hi John,
You reply definitely helped but I am still not there.
In the query retrieve the dicom servers list is still empty.
When I try to query from conquest I get this:
I1025 11:40:10.168672 CommandDispatcher.cpp:491] Association Received from AET CONQUESTSRV1 on IP 192.168.0.104
I1025 11:40:10.170641 CommandDispatcher.cpp:689] Association Acknowledged (Max Send PDV: 16372)

E1025 11:40:10.173030 CommandDispatcher.cpp:877] DIMSE failure (aborting association): DIMSE Caller passed in an illegal association
It is telling me conquest is unknown. My configuration files is this:

I forgot to mention that when setting up orthanc, it was suggested to use synaptic. I noticed that orthanc was already in the Ubuntu database, so I took the version it suggested. I could be that this is older than what is on source forge, but my experience with the Ubuntu file list is pretty good.
In any case both dcm4chee and conquest are listed as other dicom servers and both are running (conquest inside a Windows virtual box). From conquest I can echo to both dcm4chee and orthanc.
