RE: Connection Problem
Thanks folks (a useful gender-neutral word). Suggestions received were clean up old names files try pinging name and ip address use ip address in names file instead of a name trace. I have 4 Oracles on the machine so I renamed old names files. I then failed to ping by name, but was able to ping by ip address. So I changed the names file to use ip address instead of name. At this point one of those little ironies that makes computing such fun stepped in. Unbeknown to me the server went down so it seemed that the combined knowledge of this list had brought my Oracle system to its knees. However once service was restored all worked. S.J.C.
