ORA-12543: TNS:destination host unreachable but telnet and tnsping works

oracle, sqlplus, telnet, tnsnames

Solution

I also faced the same issue ORA-12543: TNS:destination host unreachable

i resolved it in this way

open sqlplus

connect

enter user-name :system enter password : HHHHH@2014

then the following error raised

the problem is my password contains @ symbol

resolved it by putting my password in "HHHHHH@2014"

Problem

Last days i stay face to face with a strange oracle problem. I have defined database in tnsnames.ora. Oracle client is installed , client and client/bin have been added to PATH. `Ping` works, `tnsping` works, I can connect to host by database port with telnet. When I try to run application that tries to connect to db I got ORA-12543: TNS:destination host unreachable It is the same situation when I try to connect by sqlplus sqlplus username/password@TNSNAME Situation occurred only on one workstation, it's mean in common it should works. WS is windows 7 64 bit. Database : Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.5.0 - 64bit Production
