Umm, I assume that you are neither familiar with USENET nor with the English language, so I will ignore that last sentence.

First, find out what version of Oracle you are using at the client and the server and what level of what operating system these run on. Post this information.

Then, check in Metalink (if you have access) if this combination is certified, i.e. has been tested and should work.

If that does not enlighten you, set TRACE_LEVEL_CLIENT=SUPPORT in your sqlnet.ora and try again. Then examine the trace file and determine where the problem is.

Ask for help if you need any (maybe in a more friendly way than this time).
