ORA-12560 error when trying to do a data pump

709984Jul 2 2009 — edited Jul 2 2009

I installed oracle 11g and was attempting to do a data pump from the dev machine to my computer however when I run the impdp command I get an ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error.

A co-worker thought I might need to add a loopback adapter as that had been the only thing different from his machine where everything worked fine so I added the loopback adapter but it still didn't work. We thought maybe the adapter had to be in place first so I uninstalled the database and installed again but that also didn't work, I still get the same error message.

Any ideas on what I should try?

Thanks for any help you can give me.
