Multithreaded server

[balamv]

Hi,

I encounter the following error while trying to connect(window nt workstation , oracle client installation) to the database server( windows NT, Oracle 8i server)

ERROR:
ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist

I am able to tnsping using the connect string(tnsnames entry). But i am unable to connect to any user in the server.

I am able to connect to machines which has dedicated server installation. But unable to connect to multithreaded server installation.

What could be the problem?

Thanx in Advance.

12545, 00000, "Connect failed because target host or object does not exist"
// *Cause: The address specified is not valid, or the program being
// connected to does not exist.
// *Action: Ensure the ADDRESS parameters have been entered correctly; the
// most likely incorrect parameter is the node name. Ensure that the
// executable for the server exists (perhaps "oracle" is missing.)
// If the protocol is TCP/IP, edit the TNSNAMES.ORA file to change the
// host name to a numeric IP address and try again.

Suggestion: try replace machine name with ip address
If it still does work, tunr trace on
