Communication Problems between Database Servers

[Victor BERRIDGE]

What are the permissions on /etc/hosts?

[Victor BERRIDGE]

And from INLAND3 when you ping INLAND3?
what does the ping say?
and inland3?

Did you get the network guys to correct the DNS?

[Adrian Sobers2]

ok we added it to IRDBB.COM domain and I can now ping INLAND3 name from production and the box itself!! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!

Hi Adrian,

If ping IP is working you can configure tnsnames.ora with IP@ (intead of hostname) until you sort out your network/DNS issues
