Re: unable to log into 8i

12560, 00000, "TNS:protocol adapter error" // *Cause: A generic protocol adapter error occurred. // *Action: Check addresses used for proper protocol specification. Before
// reporting this error, look at the error stack and check for lower level
// transport errors.For further details, turn on tracing and reexecute the
// operation. Turn off tracing when the operation is complete.

The most common cause is that you are trying to use a network protocol (TCP/IP, IPC, SPX, etc.) that your listener is not configured to listen for. Make sure that your client and listener are both talking the same language (protocol).
