Hi folks,

Our server team has just upgraded a server from Windows NT4 to Windows 2000, and when I tried connecting to the database from my workstation, using OEM or TOAD, I get an error message after half a minute or so: "ORA-12535: TNS: Operation Timed Out", and cannot complete the connection.

Looking at the Event Log for the database, everything looks OK - it's up and running.

Likewise, the Listener log looks OK - the database service name is there.

Looking at .../network/log/sqlnet.log however, there's something odd:

- - - - Fatal NI connect error 12638, connecting to: (DESCRIPTION=(LOCAL=YES)(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=beq)))

VERSION INFORMATION:

	TNS for 32-bit Windows: Version 8.1.6.3.0 - Production
	Oracle Bequeath NT Protocol Adapter for 32-bit Windows: Version

8.1.6.3.0 - Production
  Time: 19-DEC-2003 13:57:19
  Tracing not turned on.
  Tns error struct:
    nr err code: 0
    ns main err code: 12638
    TNS-12638: Credential retrieval failed     ns secondary err code: 0
    nt main err code: 0
    nt secondary err code: 0
    nt OS err code: 0
TNS-12638: Credential retrieval failed

    ns secondary err code: 0
    nt main err code: 0
    nt secondary err code: 0
    nt OS err code: 0
- - - - -

I'm not getting very far with tracking down possible causes of these problems, so if it rings any bells with any of you, I'd appreciate any insights!
