Re: Remote Access ORACLE database

It seems to me that you have a protocol problem, I think on your workstation you are running BEQUEATH (Local Machine) and whe you try to connect from the Lap Top (the client) it does not know how to reach the host.

Have you tried Ping-ing the host machine, and the database ?

Good Luck
