Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Cannot connect to database
Hi everybody,
I've just installed Oracle XE on my machine, and while I can connect to the database with sqlplus, I cannot seem to tnsping the database or connect to it via code (Java).
On this machine, I am also running a free copy of ZoneLab ZoneAlarm - which is causing the problem imho.
When I shutdown ZoneAlarm completely, I can connect to the database in every way possible, but once I start ZoneAlarm again, I am unable to connect to the database like before.
ZoneAlarm is configured to let all Oracle-related programs access the local network AND act as a server on said network. Internet connections and server rights are revoked.
Does anyone recognize this problem or know of a way to solve it? I'm behind a firewall at home, so I could shutdown ZoneAlarm, but that is not an option imho.
Thanks in advance!
