ORA-12170: TNS:Connect timeout occurred

What causes this error?[edit]

An ORA-12710 error occurs when SQL*Net cannot connect to its destination. Common causes are firewalls blocking connections and network routing errors.

How to fix it[edit]

Open firewall to allow SQL*Net connections through[edit]

Open firewall settings and ensure the listener port is not blocked.

For example, on a Windows system, navigate to Control Panel-> Security Center-> Windows Firewall-> Exceptions. Click on Add port and add TCP port 1521 or whatever port the listener is running on (see listener.ora).

Troubleshoot networking between two systems[edit]

Use utilities like ping, tnsping, netstat and traceroute to see if the two systems are connected on the network.
