    Hi,

    Can anyone tell me why when I try to connect to oracle plus, it gives an error message 'packet writer failure'.
    Could it be the configuration that was wrong.  

    Thanks

    Hi
    Try#1
    ping <database_server_ip>
    tnsping <tns_alias_name>
    if both are fine then
    sqlplus /nolog
    conn <db_user_id>/<password>@<tns_alias_name>

    Try#2
    Uninstall existing Oracle Client (and restart)
    Manually Remove oracle base/home folders completly (and restart)
    Manually Remove oracle registry entry completly under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ORACLE (and restart)
    Install oracle client (match the client version# with server version#) in different oracle home then Try#1.
