Using:
Eclipse 3.0.0
MyEclipse 3.8.2
Oracle 9i

Can connect through code but not through MEDatabase Explorer
ctx.addNameURLDriver("TEST",
"jdbc:oracle:thin:@<IP-ADDR>:1521:test",
"oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");

Profile window
Profile Name: TEST
Driver: Oracle Thin Driver (from dropdown)
URL: jdbc:oracle:thin:@<IP-ADDR>:1521:test
User Name: admin
Password: <<pwd>>

Error:
Error while trying to login to database:
oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver

Questions:
1- Where can I look for more specific error message detail?
2- Can anyone see a flaw in the way I set this connection up in MEDExp?

I'm now at this point in the process:


!ENTRY com.genuitec.eclipse.sqlexplorer 4 4 Nov 12, 2004 17:05:27.923

I didn't change anything, however, it is now working. I didn't even restart Eclipse/MyEclipse. (???)

Hmm! Possibly a network glitch or other.

Thanks for providing feedback.

Well, I've followed the same path and I am receiving the same "Network" error. Any advice other than wait for it to work?

I transposed my SID and machine name (hey, the are very similiar). This "Network Adapter" error is simply that the SID is invalid. Dang Oracle error messages.
