Hello

Oracle 8i/Solaris

I am having this weird problem:
If I am using sql*plus on my NT Client to describe a broad table (broad meaning: having a lot of columns) I receive an ORA-12592: TNS:bad packet. This doesn't happen if I describe a small table.

Even more interestingly, if I desc the broad table from an sql*plus sitting on the server, I have no problems.

I figure that must be a networking issue, but have no clue where to start debugging this issue.

I have turned on TRACE_LEVEL_CLIENT=16 in my local sqlnet.ora, but am overwhelmed by the amount of trace information this gives.

Can someone give me a clue where to start debugging this?

TIA
