Hi, Try checking the listener.ora file for a SID_LIST_LISTENER section, you have only shown the ADDRESS_LIST section. Do you have both sections in your listener.ora file, you need both sections. The fact that you have sent a service name to the listener probably means that you have a tnsnames.ora file with that service name in it. You need the two files (listener.ora on the server and tnsname.ora on the client) to have matching sections. Try using the TNSPING utility first to check the TNS connection first. This is like ping but for Oracle. The TNS-????? numbers are Oracle error numbers and are well documented - check with http://tahiti.oracle.com - The Oracle documentation site both for the error and also how to configure TNS. Also try setting the ORACLE_SID, TNS_ADMIN, ORACLE_HOME and PATH to point at the right directories on the client. hth kind regards Pete -- Pete Finnigan (email:pete () petefinnigan com) Oracle Security Web Site: http://www.petefinnigan.com Oracle Security Forum: http://www.petefinnigan.com/forum/yabb/YaBB.cgi Oracle security blog: http://www.petefinnigan.com/weblog/entries/index.html Book:Oracle security step-by-step Guide - see http://store.sans.org for details. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Audit your website security with Acunetix Web Vulnerability Scanner: Hackers are concentrating their efforts on attacking applications on your website.
