Re: Connection with Oracle database through internet

I still got an error message like this:
ORA-12203: TNS:unable to connect to destination

There may be an error in the fields entered or the server may not be ready for a connection. You can check the server and retry, or continue.

It sounds unbelievable but when you connect through our INTRAnet everything works fine....
When I connect via the telephone line through an internet provider I got the error message described above.
I have checked the trace file of the Listerner on the server and it looks fine, so that's not the problem.
Also a TNSPING via the internet succeeds..... Only when you want to test with Easy Config or with Easy Assistant (test connection option) it goes wrong....

If you have any other things for me to try, or you know the solution of this problem, let met know.
Thanks in advance.
