Ultimately I have solved the problem. Here is *my* way to solve it, may be useful to others.
I was getting Exception of "Network Adapter could not establish the connection" I tested and found the same exception when my machine is down. That means, something goes wrong with the network connections. I put observer and capture all the packets going out and coming from Linux oracle server and decode them. What I found is, The program sends the request to 110.110.110.21 at port 1521 (my oracle Linux server). Then my machine gets the ack. Now again my machine sends the connection URL (jdbc:oracle:thin:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:1521:ORCL) in the data part of other request to 110.110.110.21. But when oracle server sends ack. it sends the netbios(or alias) name of the machine in the data part i.e. ESLAB21 port .. . Now my machine does not recognize ESLAB21, it only recognizes 110.110.110.21. So what I did is, put one entry in hosts file of windows client from where I am running the client. And guess what, it starts working absolutely fine. I think configuring smb on 110.110.110.21 with netbios name ESLAB21 will also solve the problem instead of entery of ESLAB21 in hosts file of every windows machine. -kvs ----- Original Message ----- From: "kvs" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, November 30, 2001 12:15 PM Subject: [LIH] Oracle 8.1.7 on RedHat 6.2 gives problem > Hi all, > I try to give you the description of problem and solutions I tried in brief, > still sorry for a long mail. > > I was installing oracle 8.1.7 enterprise ed on RedHat Linux 6.2 ( Jun 2k > PCQUEST). > Installation went smoothly, but when I tried to run a sample program to > check > the JDBC connectivity, compiled and run from a windows machine on LAN, with > JDK1.3 > it gave me exception of > "java.sql.SQLException: Io exception: The Network Adapter could not > establish the connection" > blah blah.
