Hi all,
it's Friday and it seems my laptop is feeling the weekend. :-)
The database I have on my local laptop and that I normally used for test (Oracle 11.2.0.1.0) this morning did not want to start.
I have used it till yesterday and no changes have been done on tnsnames.ora and sqlnet.ora configuration.
Here is what I get if I try to connect:
Z:\oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\BIN>sqlplus scott/tiger@localdb
SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.1.0 Production on Thu May 2 23:32:47 2013

ERROR:
ORA-12571: TNS:packet writer failure
Enter user-name:
If I try to connect as sysdba I got the following error:
Enter user-name:
Z:\oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\BIN>sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.1.0 Production on Thu May 2 23:33:35 2013

ERROR:
ORA-01041: internal error. hostdef extension doesn't exist
Enter user-name:
I have tried to restart my laptop but I got the same problem.
Any idea of what the problem could be? Let me know if I have to provide more information.
Regards.
Al
