The server has two oracle homes on it a 10.2.0.3 and a 11.2.0.1. I'm using the listener on the 11g side and the database is 10.2.0.3, I'm using port 1528 just so we can differentiate between old and new dbs. I've done the same thing on other servers and never had a problem until now.

I can connect to the database if I set the oracle_sid, no problem. But when I try to use the connect string (i.e. sqlplus scott/tiger@test), the connection just hangs for as long as I can wait until I do a control-c.

I've tried deleting and recreating the listener several times without any change using the network configuration assistant. I can do a tnsping with no problem, comes right back.

when I look in the listener.log I see this kind of entry:

11-SEP-2012 14:12:07 * (CONNECT_DATA=(CID=(PROGRAM=)(HOST=)(USER=imcsa_oracle))(COMMAND=status)(ARGUMENTS=64)(SERVICE=LISTENER)(VERSION=186646784)) * status * 0
Tue Sep 11 14:12:26 2012
11-SEP-2012 14:12:21 * (CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=ORCQA04)(CID=(PROGRAM=d:\oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\bin\sqlplus.exe)(HOST=IMCNWORCQA21)(USER=imcsa_or acle))) * (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=40.151.4.122)(PORT=2638)) * establish * ORCQA04 * 0

The only thing I don't understand from the output is the port number, it says port=2638, I don't know where that came from.

Any idea?

TIA

Dave

You really should be using only a single listener; since having 2 complicates reality.
I suspect a problem with tnsnames.ora file; but again complicated by having 2 ORACLE_HOME trees.
I suspect that the connection request never gets to any listener.
Consider packet sniffing to gain visibility as to what really occurs on the network.

I'm not using two listeners, only one from the 11g home. As far as packet sniffing goes, I have no idea how to do that.

WIRESHARK or ETHEREAL can be used to packet sniff.

First of all I want to thank the people who've replied to this post. I needed to walk away from this for a little while. I CAN do a ping of the server from home (logged into work), I CAN do a tnsping from my pc, if I try to connect to the database from my pc, I see an entry in the logfile of the listener, this tells me that the connection is getting to the server but not to the database. I've corrected all the full names, short names, that didn't do anything. I tried "sqlplus system@orcqa04" from home and I got this message on the listener.log, Tue Sep 11 18:31:15 2012
11-SEP-2012 18:31:10 * (CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=orcqa04)(CID=(PROGRAM=c:\oracle\product\11.2.0\client_1\bin\sqlplus.exe)(HOST=4606LT)(USER=xxxxxx))) * (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=10.4.200.22)(PORT=49886)) * establish * orcqa04 * 0 I xx'd out my name, but 4606LT is my laptop's name.
I still don't know what it is but maybe this helps?

listener log file entry shows that the request got to the listener & the listener reports it was successful at handing it off to the DB.
Next the DB would attempt to establish packet exchange with the client on (PORT=49886).
Do the Firewall rules allows this to succeed?

Well this happens even if I'm trying to connect on the server. So that's a connection that isn't going through the firewall, isn't it? This server was set up with the same image as other servers that do not have this issue.

In this case, the listener is an 11g listener and the database is 10g. I have other servers set up like this and there's no problem. In fact during the day I tried to create a 10g listener and got the same issue. In the 10g home, I have an ifile in the tnsnames.ora pointing back to the 11g home.

one other thing, I put a wrong pw in just to see what would happen, and it still hung. To me this means that it's not getting to the database? Am I correct in this?

This is going to turn out to be something stupid, I know it. I've been a dba for 20 years.

as far as what forum it's in. I put it in the networking forum! I just noticed its in the unix forum, don't know how that happened. Is there anyway to move it?

FWIW - There was a bug in *NIX versions in V10.2.0.1 (& I recall it was fixed in V10.2.0.4)
that exhibited this very behavior & was related to system uptime.
If/when system was up more than 200 days or so, SQL*Net could no longer be used.
The work around as just an OS reboot.
I don't know if it occurred on Windows.
One way to get visibility on *NIX for this type of issue would be like below
# strace sqlplus scott/tiger@test

No that's not it. This is a new server it's only been around a month or so, and I rebooted it today.

I have one suggestion that is equivalent of giving Chicken Soup to a dead man.
It can't hurt & just might help.
$ORACLE_HOME\bin\relink sqlplus

That's a unix option. No relink in windows or at least I can't find it.
