Hello

I have installed a new Database instance on a remote machine. Basically it looks fine. I can log in to oracle from within the same machine (so the DB is ok).
When I ping the server from my desktop machine i get a good reply, even when I tnsping it I get a reply, so the listener is up too. But when I try logging in from my desktop using sqlplus or toad or whatever I get an "operation timed out" message.

What can be wrong ??? How come that I can tnsping but cant connect ?

Thanks
