Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> 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.

To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L
I access a database from 2 different sites, having a PC at each site.
At one site I use NT and have no problems.
At the other site I use Win 2000 and usually get an error message when trying to log on
ORA-12545 Connect failed because target host or object does not exist
Occasionally it lets me on.
People at the other site tell me that they can connect ok
Anyone know what might be causing the problem?
