Excuse me? No pinging mentioned... But anyway, I find it an intriging problem.
Do you have a listener running and listening for incoming TCP traffic? Is you (dial up) client configured to connect to oracle using tcp? Or does it use named pipes, spx, whatever? If so, does you dialup connection support these protocols?
Can't imagine yuo have no listener, as only bequeth can connect without listener, but not to a remote machine.
If you mail the listener.ora file of the (remote) server, and the tnsnames.ora
and the sqlnet.ora files of the (dial up) client, I might be able to give some
advise, instead of asking questions.
