Hi all,

I'm setting up access from a Mac to an NT Server running Oracle. I need
to connect two different ways....Ethernet and PPP.

My Ethernet connection works fine...I can PING, ftp, and connect to the
Oracle Server (Workgroup Server 7.3.4)

My PPP connection is having problems. I can connect via PPP, PING the
RAS IP address, PING the server IP address, and ftp. BUT...when I try to
connect to Oracle (using NetTest) I get this error:
  12570 TNS Packet Reader Failure

The manual says:
   Cause:
     An error occurred during a data receive.
   Action:
     Not normally visible to the user. For further details, turn on
tracing
     and reexecute the operation. If error persists, contact Worldwide
Customer
     Support.

Before I start dealing with Support, are there any ideas?

tia

Jim
