Wolfgang, if I were him, I would first try with ping and telnet to the port.
That can be any number of things. For instance, SA might have changed the IP
address
of the box and the name server and his PC is not updated and so the tns
descriptor
is desperately trying to cajole network printer into providing a connection
on
port 1521. I've actually had such a case. It's a very good thing that the
fire
alarms are usually not accessible by using the TCP protocol.

Is there a sqlnet.ora file on the PC that can connect? If so copy that as
well. Maybe that pc is not even using the tnsnames.ora.
