Hi.

I am the unfortunate backup for our Oracle DBA who is enjoying a vacation right now, so I would much appreciate any help that is available.

I have a customer who has an application that uses the Oracle 8.1.6 client. That client is giving the following error when the user goes to connect to the database (start the application):

ORA-12571
TNS: packet writer failure

They have uninstalled and re-installed the client on the user's machine only to have the error pop up again and again.

The user can log on from another machine, but is unable to make the connection from his own. Other users who can successfully log into through their own desktop cannot do so through this machine.

Help?

TIA,
