9i can't connect to a data base, even when I use another user's tnanames.or

I can't connect to a data base, even using tnsping with a tnanames.ora file that I copied from a user's PC that was able to connect. It's a new install of 9i on my PC. What did I miss? I'm on a Win 2000 box and Oracle is on a UNIX server.
Here's the description from the tnsnames.ora file:
HISTA02A =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = bkodv1)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = HISTA02)
The file is from the previous version 8.1.7, should that matter? 9.2.0.1 is the server now.

Yes, I even pinged it to make sure. When I do a tnsping HISTA02 I get :
C:\>tnsping HISTA02

  • Can't connect to my itunes because the message states that another user is using my itunes when thi is not true.

    I can not connect to my itunes account because the message states that another user in using the account and this is not true.

    After a visit to the apple store, they were able to get through my pass code but unfortunately I found out that is was a problem with the logic board. Since Apple only wants to sell and not fix, I was able to locate an iphone repair near me that deals with logic boards and they are currently working on it right now. i should be getting it back soon. Im not sure if the problem you are experiencing is the same as i went through but it does sound like it may be also a hardware issue and would suggest searching online for an iphone repair place that can diagnose what exactly is wrong. Hope this helps.

  • Bridge cs6 . I can't select more than 1 file even when I use ctrl and select a few files. Bridge will just open them indivudually.It was working properly a week ago.

    I cannot open multiple files on Bridge cs6  on my pc. I hold down ctrl. but it just opens them individually. This function was working in the past. caps lock is off, nothing has changed....help.

    As I select a file, it will launch its application automatically. Therefore I can not select multiple files or just single files without opening the application.
    I did not have this problem before. I started having this problem after I updated my system to OS X Yosemite.
    I tried to reset Bridge preferences, installed updates, but nothing worked so far.
    Can anybody help?

  • Only a connection with the data base

    I have an application MDI - opening of some windows at the same time.
    I use framework ADF Oracle - Swing/ADF JClient.
    For each new JInternalFrame a BindingContext (bootstrap) is servant, with this a new connection in the data base is created. Already I tried to use the same, but generally an action in a screen intervenes with the other.
    How I can make this (application MDI - ADF) only having a connection in the database?
    Thank you!!!

    If I have only one connection with
    the Data Base, two threads can't to request the data
    in the same time?.If two threads use the same database connection at the same time, bad things will happen. That is why each thread must use its own database connection. The easiest way to make that happen is to have a pool of connections.

  • I lost my connection with my AirPort Base Station when I upgraded to the OS Maverick.  How can I get my system to recognize the base station again?

    I lost my connection with my AirPort Base Station when I upgraded to the OS Maverick.  I can still see the Internet, but the Time Machine cannot backup now because it cannot locate the AirPort base station.  How can I resolve this issue?
    Steps already taken with zero success:
    1. Restarted the AirPort Base Station multiple times.
    2. Restarted the Mac Pro multiple times.
    3. Looked online for AirPort update for 6.3.2 version.
    Other Apple products in my house can still see the AirPort Base Station, however my Mac Pro and Mac Book Pro cannot.
    Please advise.

    That information helps. If you want to use one of the SmartStor's disks as a repository for sharing your iTunes Library, then do not configure that disk as a RAID. Format it with Disk Utility using the Erase tab. Mac OS Extended (Journaled) is the correct choice.
    Connect it to your Time Capsule, then use AirPort Utility to configure access requirements for sharing it on your network. It should appear as a shared volume in the Finder, available to all your Macs as you thought it should.
    I also thought maybe the extra HD space would be added to the existing Airport Disk.  It isn't.
    Correct. There is no way to do that. The only way to increase the capacity of a Time Capsule's hard disk is to replace the Time Capsule (or its disk, if you are amenable to disassembling it) with a larger capacity model.
    If you also want to use the SmartStor as a RAID, that is another story, and you should probably attack that problem separately.

    Can I connect my Apple TV to the Blu-Ray using an HDMI/ USB adapter?
    If you can find such a thing.  I really doubt that exists since USB is a data connector not a video connector.
    would allow me to run the audio through my stereo.     
    That would depend on this adapter.

  • Safari won't trust ANY website certificate, even after I tell it to, and i can't connect to the APP store even though I'm clearly connected to the internet.  This all started immediately following a RAM upgrade.  Please advise.

    Safari won't trust ANY website certificate, even after I tell it to (click Always trust this site option), and i can't connect to the APP store even though I'm clearly connected to the internet.  This all started immediately following a RAM upgrade.  Please advise.

    Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. If the problem isn't solved, ask for further instructions.
    1. Are the current date (including the year) and time shown on your system clock? If not, correct them and test.
    2. Disable any third-party firewall, "security" software, or network filter.
    3. In some versions of OS X, Parental Controls has a bug that prevents loading of secure websites. Turn it off.
    4. The process by which OS X checks the validity of root SSL certificates doesn't work behind the authenticating SOCKS proxies used on some enterprise networks. If applicable, contact your network administrator. The proxy server may need to have its settings changed.

    I keep getting "This connection is untrusted" in all sites when i use Firefox 36.0.1 on windows 8 laptop. How can i overcome this.

    hi vijaysampath, first please make sure that the date, time & timezone are set correctly on your system. if this doesn't solve the issue (or it is already set properly), a possible solution depends on different factors:
    * what is the '''error code''' shown under ''technical details'' on the error page?
    in case the error code equals ''sec_error_unknown_issuer'', please attempt to add an exception on the bottom of the error page in order to inspect the certificate like it is shown on the screenshot attached:
    * which '''issuer information''' does the certificate contain?
    please report back with those two pieces of information. thank you!

  • Windows laptops can't connect to Macbook Pro shared internet when WEP security is on

    As the title states, my Windows laptops can't connect to Macbook Pro shared internet when WEP security is on.  My iPhone has no problem asking for the password when I try to access the shared internet my MacBook Pro on Mountain Lion is sending, but my Samsung Slate on Windows 8 sees the network and only succeeds in connecting when no password is required.  When security is on, it just tries for a moment and says it can't connect to the network without ever prompting me for the password.  The same thing occurs on my Asus Netbook running Windows XP.  Since all the reviews about OS X's internet sharing mentions "any wifi device" can access it, I haven't assumed it's only compatible with Apple products.  I want my MacBook Pro to save me from needing an external router.

    I would post a new question, outline the specific problem you are having and skip all the extra. Outline any steps you have taken already to try and solve the problem. Post the question in the forum most likely to have followers who can answer your question. Give your topic a good title such as: My MacBook Pro cannot connect to my WEP-enabled PC.
    Provide any hardware information that may be relevant such as the make and model of your router and method of connection - wired or wireless.
    I'm no authority, but have you tried using WPA2/Personal on your PCs? This method is most compatible with Macs.
    If the WEP password is a hexadecimal password then on the Mac you need to preceed the number with a $ sign or the hex digits, 0x.
    These links may be useful:
