But i get the Error-Message: ------------- Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers- Fehler '80004005' ORA-12638: credential retrieval error ------------- Here ist my Connection-String. DRIVER={ORACLE ODBC DRIVER};DBQ=Muenster;UID=***;PWD=***;DBA=W;APA=T;FEN=T;QTO=T;FRC=10;FDL=10;LOB=T;RST=T;FRL=F;MTS=F;CSR=F;PFC=10;TLO=O I search in Google-Groups for Solutions. But nothing help. I edit the sqlnet.ora - File and change there "SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)" to "SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NONE)" but it doesnīt help. It only take a long time to load the webpage, where i connect to the database and the DLLHOST.EXE go to 99% of the CPU. So i must restart. I have install only the Client Software, Version 8.01.06.00. The Oracle-Server is one a another machine. I donīt know is configuration, but it is a Windows Advanced Server. I have Win2k with all new Service Packs and Updates (from the Microsoft Update Website). When i make a DSN or FILEDSN i have no problems to connect to the Database (Example in Access to include extern tables). But when i work with the DSN in ASP, it doesnīt work. I get the same error message. Another Driver doesnīt also not help. I hope you can help me. I search more then two days to solve this problem. But i donīt find the right one. Before i forget it, but i think you know it, iīm a newbie in Oracle :). Thanks for help Bye Andreas
