Connecting to a version 8.0.5 Oracle DB on an IBM AIX system, we have one PC that cannot connect to the DB and gets the following errors:

Fatal NI connect error 12203, connecting to:

(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=BEQ)(PROGRAM=oracle80)(ARGV0=oracle80ORCL)(ARGS='(DESCRIPTION=(LOCAL=YES)(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=beq)))')))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=ORCL)(CID=(PROGRAM=C:\orant\DISCVR31\DIS31USR.EXE)(HOST=X225A)(USER=Administrator))))

  VERSION INFORMATION:

     TNS for 32-bit Windows: Version 8.0.4.0.0 - Production
     Oracle Bequeath NT Protocol Adapter for 32-bit

Windows: Version 8.0.4.0.0 - Production

  Tracing not turned on.
  Tns error struct:
    nr err code: 12203
    TNS-12203: TNS:unable to connect to destination     ns main err code: 12560

    nt main err code: 530
    TNS-00530: Protocol adapter error
    nt secondary err code: 0
    nt OS err code: 0

All other PC's can connect. I've searched around for some common solutions, e.g., IP conflict, as well as taken .ora confg files that work on other workstations, to no avail.

Any thing else to check? Received on Mon Oct 30 2006 - 15:18:17 CST
