Does it work with both the server's host name and its IP address? If not, the problem may be that you're not running a local name server and the Oracle server host name isn't in /etc/hosts on your computer. Things to check: - if you're using a name server, is /etc/resolv.conf correctly set up on your Ubuntu box, i.e. are the search and name server lines correct? - is the name server running? - if your box is seeing the name server, is the Oracle server correctly identified in its zone files? - if you're not using a name server, check that the Oracle server is registered in /etc/hosts and add it in if it isn't there.
