Database is running fine. No problem with it. Able to connect using the sqL Plus worksheet, BUT

getting error while connecting from SQLPLUS and TOAD(external software) as ORA-12541 TNS Nolistener.

Checked the TNSnames.ora. looks good.
checked the host file to make sure the IP is correct.

when checked the tnsping, getting the below error.

D:\Documents and Settings\rganti01>tnsping

Is there a listener process actually running on the server ?

SQL Worksheet may be using IPC.

Yes, I checked. Listener is running on server.
Using UNIX login, I can connect.
However using TOAD or SQLPLUS, I am getting error.

Thanks

Seeing as you can't get to it using TNSPING, there's probably something wrong with the config files either on the client and/or on the server. Check you hostname, service definitions and your ports to make sure that everything is the same.
