Samar,

This might be due to failure in resolving hostname to ip address. You can try adding the servers ip address and hostname to the hosts file on client machine. This file will be in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts. Add the entry of servers ip followed by server's hostname.

Cheers,

Dilip

Hi All,
I have installed Oracle 8.1.7 on Win 2000 server. I am able to connect
to the server from a Oracle client installed on Win 2K professional but cannot connect
to the server from Oracle client's installed on Win 98, 95. I have tried this connection
from more than one Win 98, 95 machines but I am getting the same error and which is:

ERROR:
ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist.

Any help will be appreciated.

thanks

Samar

&gt; &gt; select pid from v$process p,v$bgprocess b
&gt; &gt; where b.paddr = p.addr
&gt; &gt; and name = 'PMON'
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; then "oradebug wakeup nnnnn".
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; where nnnnn is the process id
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; Let me know if it works for you.
&gt;
&gt; Yes, I can do that but it seems like a manual process.I need something
&gt; automatic.. No?
&gt;
&gt; Jared:
&gt;
&gt; We can bump up the processes but are worried about scaling. This
&gt; was not an issue with one user, 2 users knocking the heck out of the app
&gt; get processes = 50, so I would guess if users went to 100+ there could
&gt; be an issue. Currently I have processes =100 and we don't get the error.
&gt; Im looking for a setting that I can assign to have the processes clean
&gt; up earlier. Ive read a article on Metalink saying processes should not
&gt; be set to
&gt; More than v$license
&gt; More than 200
&gt; And is os dependant
&gt;
&gt;
&gt; ?
&gt; Thanks
