Re: TCP listener not responding

Yes, we have experienced something similar on occasion.

Our listener(s) would just not respond. Everything else would indicate that all was OK.

'lsnrctl status' would report that the status was normal.

Until stopping/starting the listener, remote connections could not be made to the database.

Thankfully, this only happens rarely. Sorry, we've never been able to track down what was the cause of this behavior.

We suspect it was due to network problems we were experiencing, ( DNS in particular ), but could not prove it.

You may want to look at networking issues.
