Hello everyone.

I'm having some trouble with a user connecting to an Oracle database.

He's getting the error below, after typing in his username and password

'Database Access was Denied Error(EDB42):ORA-12203: TNS: unable to connect to destination'

He uses a static ip address for this system which appears to be configured correctly. All other applications on his system work ok. It doesn't seem to be a permissions/password problem as any user credentials come back with the same message. It has been six months since the user has accessed the system. He does have a new laptop, but is still using his old hard disk which was swapped in from his old faulty one.

The database is not in a remote location, but resides on his laptop. His tns config file appears to be correctly configured for local host. He can ping other Oracle servers on the external network successfully.

Can anyone help? Thanks in advance. Received on Wed Aug 15 2001 - 13:32:17 CDT
