Hello folks
 I’m trying to find a solution for a strange problem.

First, let me say that my knowledge of Oracle is almost nil. I’m the local Windows tech support, am am trying to help the Oracle admins to fix this.

We have a Oracle 10g server which was set up in a fixed IP Windows 2003 server (call it server1, temporary IP 111.111.111.111). After it was set up, everything seemed to go ok: every other workstation could access it via web portal (http://server1, and application at http://server1/pls/prt)

However, we have now changed the IP of the server to it’s definitive (call it 111.111.222.222); since then, the only workstations that can access http://server1 are workstations with fixed IP; any workstation that uses DHCP-assigned IP gets “page doesn’t exist). I’ve tried putting the servers name+IP on the workstations host file, but no luck. Also, many workstations with fixed IP can only reach the basic portal (http://server1); reaching http://server1/pls/prt is reserved for a few…

The workstations can ping the server’s IP at will, and can access it using Windows remote access. I tried a tracert from both the DHCP-based and the fixed IP workstations, and the results were the same: path was straight from PC to server. All Oracle servers seem to be running, except “OracleCSS”, which is allways in a state of “starting”.

We’re pretty much running out of ideas. Anyone knows something we may try? Did the change in the server’s fixed IP ruined some internal config? Received on Tue Aug 10 2010 - 17:22:25 CDT
