Thanks for reading. We have a problem to get "Oracle TCP/IP Protocol Adapter
for Windows" running under Windows NT 3.51 and Windows 95. Although the
manual states explicit that this Oracle product "is supported running under
Windows NT Version 3.1 or 3.5" we can't get it working. Oracle support tells
us that they cannot give support since they don't support it (product
version 2.1.4.1.3A, dated february 1995)!?!?!?
The problem is as follows. The Oracle TCP/IP Protocol Adapter is installed
using the normal Oracle install program. For TCP/IP, the Winsock 1.1 and
Windows NT TCP/IP option is selected. After the install program has finished,
we tried to ping the database. All we get is the error message "ORA-12203 TNS:
unable to connect destination".
We know the server is working, we have one client system using Windows 3.11
which works. It is also possible to login via TCP/IP into the server using a
simple terminal program, so the server name (and IP address) is resolved
correctly. We don't know why we cannot ping the database.
Does anyone have any idea???
Thanks in advance.
Ronald
