TCPS setup won't work

Hello,
I am running a Oralce 9i Database and I am trying to setup, that my client (I just have one client because I am studying for the OCP) connects to the database via TCPS.
So I set up my listener to "speak" TCPS:

Ok and I set up the tnsnames.ora file on the client this way:

If I am trying to connect to the db "db01" then I get the following error.[No firewall between the client and the database. I also have performed a complete installation of the Oracle software on the client and the server.[/b]
Error:

[b]I also get the error when I am using sqlplus when I am running sqlplus on the server and want to connect to the db "db01".
I have looked here in the forum and also in the Internet but it seems like that I am pretty much the onliest one which is having this problem.

I saw that too but this is the path I got when I browsed through the directories to get the wallet folder. However I tried with and without and it does not work.
But I discovered something else:
If I try a tnsping then I receive this:

When I check the listener with the Oracle Net Manager then TCPS is not choosen in the list of procols the listener is listen to. But as you can see it is shown in the "listner status" command output.
I have to admit that I screwed a little with the listener for my studies but I thought I have set every back as normal and with a normal connection it is not a problem to connect to the DB's.
I also already deleted the listener and reconfigured it but the same thing.
Pretty soon I will pull my hair out :)

BT Vision setup won't work, keep getting Error Mes...

I have just recieved my new BT Vision box, I already had a BT phone and broadband (with BT HomeHub), with no problems in service with them, and thought the offer from BT Vision was great, but now have noticed several people on this forum having problems with their service, some of their problems are similar to mine; my BT Vision setup won't work, it will not start let alone complete the setup process, I keep getting Error Message CO3.
It tells me to check my broadband is working; it is. It tells me to check any Powerline adapters are correctly setup, but I'm not using them, because my broadband hub is close to my TV. It tells me to check my cables are connected; they all are, and it tells me to restart my Hub and Vision+ box which I've done several times and achieved no satisfactory result.
I placed my order on Tue 22 Feb 2011, recieved my equipment on Thu 24 Feb 2011, and was told it would be activated the same day, I only decided to plug it all in and set it up earlier today; Fri 25 Feb 2011. I tried sorting out the problem over the phone earlier, speaking to someone in CustomerCare, and they said it would be activated and working by midnight of 25/02/2011- (before the morning of 26/06/2011), but it isn't.
I will give my BT phone number only to a BT employee who can actually help me, and get things done.
The account and order is in my wife's name, but I am the more technically minded, and less easily stressed individual, so would appreciate any advice or assistance you could give.
P.S. I occasionally, but rarely, have seen other Error Messages such as Error Message CO1.

Hi Nahar-Hewitt,
Thanks for the post and welcome to the forum. I am sorry that you are not yet able to use your BT Vision service.
The C03 error message can indicate that the order on our system has not yet completed. This would explain why your service is not working. Are you still getting this message when trying to use Vision? If so then I can help.
Please drop me an email to the email address in my profile. (click on my name and you will find the address under the "about me" section). Include your BT account details and the link to this thread.
Cheers

Windows 7 Setup won't work on Lenovo B560

My Lenovo B560 Laptop was slow to a point it would crash a few minutes after login, and after restarting one day it would blue screen when I tried to start it up in safe mode, last known good configuration and startup repair. Everytime I would boot to my Windows 7 install disc for Lenovo it would get to the Disc Partition select screen and just stay there loading. I had my hard drive taken out and reformatted and when trying to install windows 7 again, it gets to the Disc Partition select screen and just stays there loading. This screen only loaded once, and it got to the unloading windows files and stayed there. How do I get the setup to go all the way through?

Your hdd may be in trouble,please check the state of your hdd by using and of the hdd diagnostic tools(bootable ones should help)

Flash CS3 trial setup won't work

I downloaed from the Adobe website the trial version of Flash
CS3. However, when I click on the setup exe file the setup screen
shows for a couple of seconds then disappears. Has anyone else
experienced this? My operating system is Vista Home Premium.

Uninstall it, do a reboot, then after you come back from the
reboot, erase the files in c:/program files/adobe/flash cs3/
directory.
Then reinstall flash cs3, works for me if silly things like
that happen.

Hi,
I've been trying to install adobe photoshop cs6 for while now but the installation just doesn't work.
I get this error everytime i click the setup:
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/600/installationphotoshop.png/
It's in dutch so i shall translate it for you:
"The following problems are encountered
The installer detects that the computer may need to be restarted. It is best if you close the installer, reboot your computer and then retry the installer again.
Ignore / Close"
At first i thought i still had an older version or other version of adobe photoshop installed, so that conflicted. However, i have uninstalled everything as stated in the forums (computer > remove programs > etc.) and i also downloaded the creativesuit removal tool, but the removal tool says i do not have any adobe photoshop products installed. And ofcourse i have rebooted my pc over and over again.
I hope you can help me with this problem, because i can't do my work without adobe photoshop so i'm kind off in a rush at the moment.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Foxy-
One thing to make sure is that the driver version on the new system is not older than the driver on the old system. Make sure you have at least the same versions between the two and all should load just fine.
I hope this helps. Let us know if you have any additional questions.

HP LaserJet Pro C1415fn color MFP - fax won't work

I have a LaserJet Pro CM1415fn color MFP on a Windows 7 64-bit laptop. I've been using the printer for two years now.
At the moment the fax function only works if I use it manually (i.e. if I place a sheet of paper on the scanner, select the "Fax" button on the printer touch pad and dial the number). However, if I want to send a fax via the PC interface, it won't work.
For example, if I open a PDF, click on "Print" and select "HP LaserJet Professional CM 1410 Series Fax", nothing happens -- no window/interface will open. If I select "HP Send Fax" or "HP Fax Setup Wizard" from the program menu, nothing happens.
I've always been sending faxes this way and I just don't know what happened... Can anyone please help?
Thanks in advance!

Hi @Clabee ,
I see that you can't fax from the PC anymore. I can help you with this.
If this just recently happened, I would do a System Restore back to when everything was working properly.
System Restore for Windows 7.
If you would prefer not to do the System Restore, uninstall and reinstall the printer software. It might become corrupted.
Here are the steps to run the uninstall from the computer or the CD.
To uninstall from program files:
Touch the Windows key and the E key to access the computer window.
Select the C drive.
Select program files or program files x86.
Open the HP and printer name folder.
Select uninstall.
Uninstall the software from the CD:
Touch the Windows key and the E key to access the computer window. Right click on the CD for the printer, left click open in a new window, double click on uninstall.
Disable all the start up programs and temporarily turn off the Antivirus Software. How to use MSCONFIG .
Click on the start up tab and click disable all.
Download, save and install the latest drivers.
HP LaserJet Pro CM1415fnw Color Multifunction Printer Drivers.
Test the printer and try sending a fax again from the PC.
Then you will need to go back in and enable the start up programs and turn the Antivirus Software back on again.
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a wonderful day!

Wireless password won't work

trying to connect to wireless at work, but the password won't work.... i try'd the same password on ipod... works fine... also i can use wireless at home... no prob....
any ideas?

Powerbook G4, you may have a wireless card that is too old and doesn't support newer encryptions schemes like WPA or WPA2. What are you using as your wireless encryption algorithm at home?
Per my profile, you can see that I have a computer designed and manufactured eight years ago. It uses an old 802.11 "Airport" card; not "Airport Extreme" as does my Mac Pro. It doesn't do WPA or WPA2. If the wireless access point (WAP) at work is using those, you'll be prompted for a WEP password because your computer doesn't know any better. But it won't work.
So first thing you need to do is find out what does the WAP use. Next thing you need to do is go into your System profiler and see what kind of Airport card your Powerbook has.
If it's not an "Extreme" or "Express" or whatever, just a plain ol' "Airport" card, then you are SOL trying to use that to connect to your work's WAP if they are using WPA or WPA2. There are some USB wireless thingies that you can plug in to an available USB port and you can use that to access the work (and home) networks. I know that BDAqua has previously posted a URL or three that point to some inexpensive USB 802.11 transceivers that you could use on your Powerbook.
As a side note, if this is indeed the case for your situation, this would also imply that you are probably using an inferior (as in hacked/cracked) wireless encryption protocol at home. Once you get a WPA2-capable USB thingy, get in to your router's wireless setup and change it to WPA2-PSK-AES.

Remote access to Time Capsule won't work

Over the past couple of months I've been doing lots of research and planning into replacing my Mac Pro and old MacBook Pro with a new Mac setup. I was looking for efficiency, productivity and ultimate portability so the Macbook Pro Retina and Time Capsule grabbed my attention.
I was interested in the MacBook Pro Retina for work (travel) and home leisure use. Due to having so much music and video iTunes content, I was interested in purchasing a Time Capsule and a secondary external hard drive, placing all my iTunes content on the Time Capsule which I would then back up to the external hard drive when I was at home. I would then setup Time Capsule to be accessible over the internet so that I could view my media content through iTunes wherever in the world I was (internet speeds permitting of course). By doing this I could carry only my work files with me on the 512GB SSD Macbook Pro Retina, but could access the Time Capsule media files remotely, either via wi-fi or by tethering my iPhone 5.
So I purchased a Time Capsule to test my theory. I followed online guidance on how to achieve such a setup and using my 2008 MacBook Pro (which runs Snow Leopard) and a friends internet connection I got the system to work. I was able to remotely contact Time Capsule and watch High Def video content via wireless internet and even tethered to my iPhone. So I went and purchased a Macbook Pro Retina (running Mountain Lion) and set about setting up the system in the same way. But this is where something's gone wrong. I can't connect to the Time Capsule over the internet at all.
The Air Port utility has been updated to version 6 which is lacking the ability to instruct the Time Capsule to "Allow access over WAN". I thought I'd make sure it still connected via the internet using my old MacBook Pro, which had definitely worked perfectly just a couple weeks earlier, and that won't work either. I can't find the option to "Allow access over WAN" within Airport Utility 5.6.1 either? And the simple apple script application that I wrote (following an online guide) to open the remote connection to Time Capsule with the double left click on an icon has stopped working too.
I don't pretend to be a network engineer and I'm no I.T. expert, though I usually manage to teach myself what I need to know to sort issues like this out, but this has gotten me really stumped! I tried downloading an old version of Airport Utility to see if that had the "Allow access over WAN" feature (within the 'Disks' > 'File Sharing' area of Airport Utility) but my Mac OS won't allow the old versions to run.
Perhaps the version of Airport Utility I used on my Macbook Pro a couple of weeks ago didn't have the "Allow access over WAN" check box either and I just didn't notice - which is likely unless Airport Utility updates itself in the background without any prompts etc. I certainly didn't notice a software update for it any time over the past few days. Either way, I don't understand how it could have been working a few days back and now it's suddenly not.
I used this guides to gain remote access to Time Capsule successfully just a couple of weeks ago:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIQ7SzA1cK4
Can anyone shed any light on the issue and point me toward a fix please? I'd appreciate the help.

Thanks LaPastenague. I'm not sure if I have a static IP but I can confirm it hasn't changed in the past month.
I've pretty much come to the conclusion that what I want to do isn't really possible using Time Capsule. Like I mentioned, I had remote access working a couple of weeks ago but it seems like apple have updated the firmware or airport software to remove something that was necessary to remotely connect in the same way. And even if I did get it working I think it would still be so restrictive, requiring a fast wifi or mobile phone tethered connection to view my media files over the internet.
I got connected via iCloud and B.T.M.M. but the connection was very slow and video wouldn't stream well at all (painful). It seems that the speed constraints would make it very frustrating each time I simply wanted to look through my vast iTunes music collection or movie library. Album covers won't appear either.
Even if it were possible to connect via a static IP I just don't think that the WAN connection would be stable or fast enough to offer an efficint solution(?), so I'll probably have to by an external portable HD and use Time Capsule for Time Machine and Printer Sharing.
I wish I could stream my iTunes movies and music successfully over the internet, but right now it just doesn't seem possible.

2nd Monitor won't work

I bought a Pavillion p6210f last week with Win7 loaded to replace my Dell/Vista. I was using two monitors with a VGA port and DVI port on the old PC, so I tried plugging in the same on my new HP and the DVI would not fit. In examining the pins I found that, althought the Manual said DVI, but the plug has the pin/bar arrangement of a DVI-D. So, I bought a VGAto DVI-D adapter and everything plugged in snuggly. All pins and bar appear a match.
But, it won't work. This is what is showing
NVIDIA nForce Serial ATA Controller HP RC Mirror Driver [Display adapter]
NVIDIA GeForce 9100 [Display adapter]
Acer P241W [Monitor] (24.0"vis, s/n LB4040014320, March 2008)the one working monitor....
After hours with the 800 support and hours of reversing the two Acer monitors, the DVI-D port is simply dead. Anything plugged in to the VGA works fine, anything and any combination plugged into the DVI-D and cable switching etc. the 2nd monitor is not even recoginized. The NVIDIA control panel doesn't recognize it. The amber power light just stays that way and nothing ever flashes on the 2nd screen. That is, it is the same as not plugging in at all.
I was less than pleased when 800 tech and supervisor suggested I take it to a repair center. A week old? I have put way too much setup and data transfer into the new HP to go back to the retailer for a replacement.
Techs didn't know, but could there be a DVI-X with the same pins that also fits

Eldric, did you update to the latest video driver from nVidia? It sounds to me like a driver problem. Update and let us know if that solves your problem.

Satellite A200 28H : F6 floppy won't work while installing XP

Hi,
I'm trying to install Windows XP pro on my new laptop (Satellite A200 28H), and since it needs SATA driver, I have downloaded the appropriate driver for my laptop (Satellite A200 28H), put them on a floppy to use with a USB floppy drive (which works fine), pressed "F6" when appropriate and all... But it just won't work. I have had a computer technician background for a few years, so even thouh this is no longer my job and I might be a bit rusty, I think I still know at least a bit what I'm doing... Well, apparently I'm more out of picture than I thought !
I have tried several things, and here is what I get :
* If I do not use the floppy at all, Windows XP will not find the hard disk. That was expected, no problem here, save for the fact it is utterly useless to me :)
* If I force the driver on the floppy, despite Windows telling me it already has a driver it can use, then within 10 seconds I get a BSOD with the 0x7B stop message (boot device not found or unreachable).
* If I use the floppy, but do not force the driver and instead listen to Windows ("oh, you already have a driver ? Ok, then, use it and nevermind that floppy"), I can actually finish the installation process. Windows will copy all the files it needs on the drive, it will even reboot properly after that and go on installing itself. But when the installation is over, the computer will reboot, I will see the loading screen for a second, and then, BSOD stop 0x7B again.
I'm pretty sure I have downloaded the proper driver for my computer. Actually, I also tried a couple of wrong drivers too, just to be sure (ie I should use Intel Matrix for ICH8M, but I also tried the one for ICH7M to be sure), I tried with drivers downloaded from the Toshiba website, from the Intel website, and from whatnot-other-website-for-newbies-or-powerusers, and I always have the same behaviour as described above.
I have tried partitioning / formating during the installation, and I also have tried leaving the file system untouched. If I do the latter, the only difference is that I am offered 2 possible OS to boot from, both being Windows XP, and both failing miserably.
It's probably interesting to mention that, if I use the recovery DVD and start fresh and clean with Vista, I have no problem whatsoever, save for the gazillion process loaded at startup, the already half-used RAM and the hundred or so useless applications I don't give a darn about... And the fact that some applications I need to work just can't be installed on Vista.
If anyone has any idea about how to fix it, I'd be most grateful !

Hi
The procedure including the SATA drivers into the Win XP using the external USB floppy drive is very easy.
First of all you have to download the Storage Manger and have to put it on the floppy.
During the Win XP Setup procedure you have to press F6 button to include it from the external floppy drive and follow the further instruction on the screen.
_Note;_
Very important is that your Win XP CD would contains the SP2!!!
Without the SP2 a BSOD could appears and could break up the installation!!!
Dont format or dont create any partitions after the SATA driver installation. This can erase the installed and included SATA driver from the HDD.
