I think my original message about this got misplaced, as other messages have been posted in this forum since I first posted about this problem. I have SQL Developer version 4.0.2.15, build 15.21, on a MacBook Pro running OS-X 10.9.3. The first time I ran Developer, it prompted me to set-up a connection, which I was somewhat familiar with, having worked with Developer in 2012 and 2013 at Drexel University in Philadelphia. When I clicked on the newly created connection, I got these two error messages:
IO Error: The Network adapter could not establish the connection
Vendor code 17002
What do I need to do, and how do I do it, so I can start coding?
Thank-you very much.
