Hi Friends,
I am new to this forum and this is my first posting.
I am using Oracle 9i with client-server installation.
I am trying to access Oracle Database which is located on a remote server.But I am not able to login.The error what I am getting is

ORA-12560: TNS: protocol adapter error

But when I PING the IP address of the remot server, it is PINGING.
I tried UserName and Password which are mentioned in tnsnames.ora file.Also I tried default username and password scott/tiger etc different combinations.But I am getting the same error.
Also I tried to start listener service in my system,but I dont have access rights,not given by our clients.

So is this related to Firewall??

Please Help Me Friends..

Thanks in Advance...

>I tried UserName and Password which are mentioned in tnsnames.ora file
I have NEVER seen username or password in tnsnames.ora file.

12560, 00000, "TNS:protocol adapter error"
// *Cause: A generic protocol adapter error occurred.
// *Action: Check addresses used for proper protocol specification. Before
// reporting this error, look at the error stack and check for lower level
// transport errors. For further details, turn on tracing and reexecute the
// operation. Turn off tracing when the operation is complete.


>So is this related to Firewall??
Possibly

Hi Michel,
Thanks for your reply.I am sorry for late response.
The connection command I have used is ping command.So the IP address is pinging.But when I try to login using SQL Plus, I get the ORA-12560: TNS: protocol adapter error.
I this because of Firewall? Alternatively Can I connect to Oracle through My Java Application using JDBC(By setting proxy in My java application).Will this solve the firewall issue.
Your guidance needed...

Thanks in Advance....

1/ You must have an Oracle Client in your Client machine. Or, you have some special applications such as TOAD, SQL Navigator, SQL Developer... which can connect to your Database.

2/ For the Oracle Client, open the file called as TNSname.ora.
Modify something in, it look like:

REPO =  //your SID//
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.222.15.186)(PORT = 1521)) //your Database IP and port
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVER = DEDICATED)
      (SERVICE_NAME = REPO) //your Database name
    )
  )

EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1))
    )
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SID = PLSExtProc)
      (PRESENTATION = RO)
    )
  )


After finish modifying, you can check it again by
[code]
C:\> tnsping yourSID

Example with below Tnsname.ora
C:\>tnsping REPO
....
[code]

3/You can check your Database version and release by
[code]
SQL> show parameter compatible;
[code]

Use IP address instead of host and ensure that you have provided correct service name in tnsnames.ora.

What's your exactly command TNSPING?
Note: TNSPING yourSID

Or, you can add it by Netca or Net Manager application!

Not true.

See what you told?
-bash-3.00$ echo $ORACLE_SID
JUST
-bash-3.00$ tnsping JUST

The right is,
tnsping net_service_name count


net_service_name: must exist in tnsnames.ora file or the name service in use.
