There is a Windows Server 2008 R2. It has an Oracle database. The entry for tnsname.ora was simply copied, replacing loaclhost with the desired IP address. Ping between the machines passes. tnsping works on the machine itself. tnsping from another machine fails, an error occurs:
TNS-12541: TNS: no listener
I tried to open ports on the server. In the firewall, I created a rule for port 1521 for all programs (under Inbound Rules). Added oracle.exe and tnslsnr.exe to firewall exceptions.
I watched through resmon.exe. TNSLSNR.EXE listens on port 1521. Firewall Status - Allowed, not Restricted
Tell me where else to look and what to tweak?
