Generally, 12545 means that something in the connection string for shared environments is missing, the listener.ora, tnsnames.ora and sqlnet.ora contain conflicting parameters, or the init.ora MTS parameters do not match the listener.ora.
I would make sure that you can ping the server remotely and that you can TNSPING the server as well. If not, your .ORA settings are inconsistent. Thank You Stephen P.

Dear all, II have set up MTS on my environment (oracle 8.1.6.0.0), but I can't connect through remote computers. The error is ora-12545 : target or host doesn't exists. My init.ora regarding to MTS goes like this. mts_dispatchers = "(PROTOCOL=TCP)(dispatchers=10)(sessions=20)" mts_max_dispatchers = 25 mts_servers = 5 mts_max_servers = 30 I also add clause (SERVER = SHARED) on all tnsnames.ora files. I have also tried to use 2 listener namely listener_mts which I set to port 1522, I use this especially to handle the MTS connection. So I add in my init.ora Local_listener = mts1 And in my tnsnames.ora mts1 = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = server2000)(PORT = 1522)) ) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = sheet.almi.net) (SERVER = SHARED) ) ) I still can't connect to the database with message of can't establish connection for this type of server. So I omit the (SERVER = SHARED) part. I can connect, but the connection is DEDICATED instead of MTS. I know this by querying SERVER column of V$session and there's no entry on V$circuit. V$shared_servers shows 5 entry. Is there anyone has experience like I have? Please give me some input here. Thank you all in advance.
