JDBC Thin Driver (1.1) - Can not establish connection

I am trying to use Oracle's sample applet to establish a connection between my browser (Explorer 4.0 on NT) and an Oracle 7.3 database that resides on an HP/UX server.

My connect string is as follows:

static final String connect_string =

                "jdbc:oracle:thin:system/manager_at_ott40:1521:h01a";

where

ott40 is the name of my server
the Listener is running on port 1521 h01a is the name of my instance

I have also tried changing the getConnection to

conn = DriverManager.getConnection
("jdbc:oracle:thin:@ott40:1521:h01a","system","manager");

In both cases the applet generates the message 'cannot access ott40'. If I change ott40 to a garbage name then I get the message 'Unable to check hostname "garbage" '.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to proceed ? Received on Wed Feb 11 1998 - 00:00:00 CST
