You should enable client and server level tracing get more details pertaining to this type of error.  Given more detail, we may be able to get to the bootom of the problem.   Defry ----- Original Message ----- From: Helen rwulfjeq To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Sent: Monday, June 11, 2001 2:20 PM Subject: config problem on 8.1.7  Hi, List: We have two oracle server running at different boxes with different ip addresses (all same, the version is 8.1.7). For 8.1.5 clients, they can connect both servers without any problem. However, For 8.1.7 clients, clients can only connect to one of server, even you copy the correct entry and then modify the ipaddress pointing to another one. Still has problem. The error message is: ========================================================== C:\bea\wlserver6.0\config\beapoc>sqlplus username/password@test_connect_string SQL*Plus: Release 8.1.7.0.0 - Production on Mon Jun 11 11:19:24 2001 (c) Copyright 2000 Oracle Corporation.  All rights reserved.

But I attached here bad_one =   (DESCRIPTION =     (ADDRESS_LIST =       (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 222.115.155.69)(PORT = 1521))     )     (CONNECT_DATA =       (SERVICE_NAME = oracle)     )   ) good_one =   (DESCRIPTION =     (ADDRESS_LIST =       (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 222.115.155.119)(PORT = 1521))     )     (CONNECT_DATA =       (SERVICE_NAME = oracle)     )   ) both servers have same database name (global, instance, database --> oracle). The only difference is ipaddress.... Thanks for you advice   Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Personal Address - Get email at your own domain with Yahoo! Mail.
