Jdbc. The Network Adapter could not establish the connection. Help Please!!

Question

I've found several responses over this issue, but none works for me.
I'm trying to setup a simple jdbc connection from a simple program.
Platform:
Fedora Core 4 (FC4) on AMD 64 bits
Java 1.4.2_04 (64 bits)
ORacle 10g or Oracle 9.2.0.4 (none works);
Tips:
- I can't connect to a remote server, nor to a local server
- I can connect using SQLplus
- TNSPing works fine
- Listener it's up
- my connection string is jdbc:oracle:thin:user/name@host:port:sid
- Also try jdbc:oracle:thin:user/name@//host:port/sid
- I'v tryied with classes12.jar, odbj14.jar
- my hostname it's ok.
I've monitored ip traffic on remote computer. While using TNSPING I detect activity. While using jdbc, no.
Please, any idea??

Answer 1

Thanks for your reply.
To your questions:
- I´v tried both IP, host, and even host.domain
- I can connect from remote workstation using toad, and from local using sqlplus.
- I can´t connect via jdbc.
Folowing:
A) my sample code
B) the stack trace
C) the listener status (from my 9i server. Also tryied another servr with 10g)
when I call this program, I´ve tried severl connection strings:
jdbc:oracle:thin:user/pass@sdd51:1521:ebf
jdbc:oracle:thin:user/pass@:sdd51.sdd.com.ar:1521:ebf
jdbc:oracle:thin:user/pass@:10.10.10.51:1521:ebf
also try the other sintax:
jdbc:oracle:thin:user/pass@//sdd51:1521/ebf
In the classpath, I´tryied:
clasess12.jar
ojdbc14.jar
nls_charset12.jar
thanks
