Hi list, thanks everyone for help. I looked up metalink and found following bug/workarround:
fact: Oracle Server - Enterprise Edition 8.1.7 fact: SQL*Net fact: MS Windows NT symptom: Client Connection Failure symptom: TNS-12537 / ORA-12537: TNS:connection closed symptom: TNS-12560 / ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error symptom: TNS-00507 TNS:protocol adapter error symptom: USE_SHARED_SOCKET is set to TRUE in registry change: Upgraded listener to 8.1.7 cause: <Bug:1566794> : CONNECTIONS FAIL WITH ORA-12537 WHEN USE_SHARED_SOCKET IS SET IN 8.1.7 fix: Fixed versions : 8.1.7.2 Workaround : Set USE_SHARED_SOCKET to FALSE in the registry. Warning : Setting this parameter will prevent to connect through a firewall which has no SQL*Net proxy built-in. I set USE_SHARED_SOCKET to FALSE and everything works fine. I'm a little bit confused, cause Oracle runs on this machine since May 2001 without problems. But suddenly after a reboot I got TNS-12537. Server was rebootet before, no changes were made to environment (NT Patches, Oracle Patches...). regards Volker Schoen E-Mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.inplan.de -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Schoen Volker Gesendet: Donnerstag, 13.
