Your guess is right.
I am able to perform a TNSping to the server.
However, when I start the test connection from NET8 Assistant, I encounter
TNS:protocal adapter error.
All linkage seems OK but when tested, it fails.
I was wondering if the failure was due to the NAT at the firewall or router
?
What do U think?
I don't have a metalink account.
Would appreciate, if it is possible, to summarize it for me.
Thanks a lot.
bye
