ERROR ORA-12170: TNS:Connect timeout occurred

490126Feb 12 2006 — edited Oct 6 2010
I have this error "ERROR ORA-12170: TNS:Connect timeout occurred" when connecting as user/pwd@instance, but I am able to connect only with the user. What I am doing wrong??

Example:
#sqlplus /nolog
SQL> connect myuser/mypassword@myinstance
ERROR:ORA-12170: TNS:Connect timeout occurred

SQL> connect myuser
Enter password: ***********
Connected.
