No, but (and forgive me for asking) why does that matter? Is sqlnet tunneling important for security reasons, or important for connectivity? I'm able to telnet to the box straight away.

After not being able to get any Oracle client to connect, i wondered if VPN had the capability to transmit anything but the "lowest" level of tcp/ip protocols. boss > > > Are you tunneling sqlnet through ssh? > > http://www.akadia.com/services/ssh_install_and_use.html > > On Fri, 2003-10-24 at 08:44, Todd Boss wrote: > > I can tell you right now, i'm VPN'd to a client overseas and have > > NOT been able to get OCI to work over the protocol.
