PL/SQL Developer problems on VPN connexion

[Mihaela Stan]

Hello

I work for a client at a distance and I use a Cisco Systems VPN Client Version 4.0.1. I have two Oracle Clients installed: 9 and 10gR2. At the client the servers are: Oracle 8i and Oracle 10gR2. We prepare for the migration of 8i to 10gR2.

For the Oracle server 8i I use the PL/SQL Developer 5.0.3.518 with the Oracle client 9 and it works fine.

PL/SQL Developer 5 can't work with Oracle client 10.

For the Oracle server 10gR2 I use the PL/SQL Developer 7.1.5.1398 with Oracle client 10gR2.

The problem is that if I use PL/SQL Developer 7 I cannot do big things like edit a package body, test a function, query more than 400 lines, run in command window a script for create a package.

I tried to find out if there is SQLnet Fixup enabled but the client doesn't administrate the firewall and CISCO server and I don't have an answer yet.

Thank you,

What exactly goes wrong? Any error messages?

From the Command Window
SQL> @script.sql
ORA-12571: TNSacket writer failure

From the SQL Window
ORA-12571: TNSacket writer failure
ORA-03114: Not connected to ORACLE

If I try to view or edit the package body (right click from the browser) the PL/SQL Developer blocks. No messages, no ending, just the hourglass and finally I have to end the process (Task Manager).

I'm working through a VPN-Client for some time now without any problems.
The configuration is mainly the same, only the CISCO VPN-client has a newer version 4.8.01.0300. Maybe that's the problem.

The computer running the VPN is a virtual machine running on a windows host and a mac host without any problems. I'm editing whatever I want.

I've tried with a newer version of VPN Client and I still have the problem
