Can't connect to Oracle using localhost

993830Feb 27 2013 — edited Mar 12 2013

Hi,

I am trying to use Oracle SQL Developer to connect to Oracle 11g using localhost on my laptop. Oracle is started, I am using the exact same settings as the rest of the students in my class, and my instructor, but it just times out when trying to connect. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Oracle, Java, anything I can think that would be connected. My instructor had me put in his machine's IP address to connect to instead, and that worked. But localhost will not.

I use SYSTEM as the username (I have also tried SYS), and the password is the one I used when I installed Oracle. Port is default of 1521, hostname of localhost, SID is default of xe.

I have also tried PostgreSQL, with it's default settings, and the same thing happens.

The exact error code I am getting is: Status: Failure - Test failed: IO Error: Socket read timed out

Does anyone know what could be causing this?

If there is any other information I can provide that may help narrow down the issues, just let me know.

Thank you in advance,

Brad
