Peter, Sorry for repeating but: Can your AIX client ping this host: mfgad11.atdc.northgrum.com ? Is your domain: atdc.northgrum.com or northgrum.com ?
Waleed -----Original Message----- Sent: Friday, July 26, 2002 1:25 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L I should have added that I can ping the host and tnsping works also. Tracing on the server shows that listener is receiving the connection but gives no hint of why the connection failed. ---------------------------------------------------------------- $ lsnrctl status (on the server): LSNRCTL for SVR4: Version 2.3.2.1.0 - Production on 26-JUL-02 11:33:41 Copyright (c) Oracle Corporation 1994.

Can you tnsping the remote database from AIX? What do you get when you run this: lsnrctl status (on the host running the database server)? I mean which host the listener is defined to listen on. Also you may need to trace the client and look at the output. Waleed -----Original Message----- Sent: Friday, July 26, 2002 9:43 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Here is the tnsnames.ora entry. As I mentioned in my previous note, this is a direct copy from tnsnames.ora on my W2k client which has no problem connecting to this database. test1.world= (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP )(HOST = mfgad11)(PORT=1521)) ) (CONECT_DATA = (SID = test1) ) ) Thanks for all of the suggestions so far.
