All,

[Quoted] I have 6i Forms/Reports and Discoverer 4, both of which use NET 8, and both of which stopped working. I get ORA-12571 TNS:packet writer failure. Even when I try tnsping80 'the server ip' I get the error.

I recently installed 10g client, but the above worked after that. Now they don't.

[Quoted] I'm on winXPpro. I do not have McAfee virus scan. I know my tnsnames.ora is correct as I did use these not that long ago.

What can I do to fix this?

Thanks,
