Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Net8 Problem
My former partner was the DBA, and left in the middle of
working in Net8, so I still cannot get the Oracle client on
a 95 workstation to talk to the Oracle server on NT. Even
after reading, “Getting Started” three times, I still remain
mostly clueless how to get SQLNET to a functional condition.
TNSNAMES.ORA and SQLNET.ORA are identical on both machines.
Testing the “connection” with Net8 from the server results
in a connection. However, testing the connection from 95
returns:
Connecting.... The test did not succeed. ORA-12203: TNS: unable to connect to destination. There may be an error in the fields entered or the server may not be ready for a connection. You can check the server and retry, or continue.
If anyone has a successful checklist you follow that works
on the NT platform, please send it, along with any other
recommendations to:
C.Bauer_at_worldnet.at.net
Thanks a million.
