 Hi,

I installed oracle 10.2.0.1 on windows 2003 server. When i am trying to login to this database using toad or sql plus from other machine, i am getting the error : ORA-12203: TNS: Unable to Connect to Destination.  The database name is "ORCL". The listener is running on the server. I can ping to the server.

The listener settings are as follows on the server:

SID_LIST_LISTENER =
  (SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
      (SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
      (ORACLE_HOME = E:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1)
      (PROGRAM = extproc)
    )
  )

 
LISTENER =
  (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1))
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = xxx.xxx.yy.16)(PORT = 1521))
    )
  )
The client TNS is as follows:
