First of all it doesn't belong here because Toad is a third party
product.
Secondly, as I already stated, if you *can* connect using sql*plus it
is not an *Oracle* problem. You obviously didn't read that bit.
Apart from that, too many people invariably blame when somethings goes
wrong 'the database' ie the product they don't know. This is typical
attitude of vendors and consultants responsible for third party
products: when something goes wrong it is *never* a problem in *their
product*, but it is always, following their cover ur ass policy, 'the
database'. There are some British consultancy firms, which shall
remain nameless, who probably train all their consultants in this kind
of responses to customers.
So: If Toad doesn't connect, why would it be an *Oracle problem*, and
should it go to an Oracle forum, where Quest has their own?
