1/ Does "ping" work? (most likely no)
2/ Does "tnsping" work?

Always post what you do and get. Do NOT just tell it.

Thanks for your reply Michel

My Tnsname.ora file:
ORCL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.1.7)(PORT = 1521))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = subhani)
)
)

When I tried this:
sqlplus scott/tiger@ORCL..getting the following error

ORA-12560:TNS:protocol adapter error

so den I tried without tnsnames.ora file like..
sqlplus sqlplus scott/tiger@(description=(address_list=(
address=(protocol=TCP)(host=192.168.1.7)(port=1521)))(connect_data=(service_name=subhani)))..

getting the following error

ora-12170:TNS Connect TimeOut Error..

please help...

Post the ping and tnsping from the same window you tested sqlplus (the bold part is important and mandatory, the ping and tnsping MUST be done in the same window).

Hi Michel,
Thanks for your quick reply..
tnsping ORCL gives me the error..
'tnsping' is not recognised as internal or external command,operable program or batch file..

I installed the Oracle Instant client files instantclient-basic-win32-10.2.0.5,instantclient-sqlplus-win32-10.2.0.5 from the oracle site for connecting to remote database...

Please help me where I am missing or tell me any other way to connect to my database installed in redhat linux on vmware player...

>I am trying to connect to database from my laptop which has windows 7 installed

Which Windows Edition is installed on the laptop?
Which version (to 4 decimal places) of Oracle software is installed on the laptop?
What is hostname & IP# for laptop system?
What is hostname & IP# for VM system?

post results from 4 different "ping" commands; two ping from each system
From laptop do
ping VM_IP#
ping VM_Hostname
from VM System do
ping LAPTOP_IP#
ping LAPTOP_HOSTNAME

Consider resolving the networking configuration issues to allow Linux to initiate a successful network connection to Windows
