Oracle Database Discussions

Hi,

I am attempting to connect to an Oracle 9i database using one of
our binary executables, and I am getting the following errors
listed in the "sqlnet.log" file:

Fatal NI connect error 12545, connecting to:
(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=beq)(PROGRAM=oracle)
(ARGV0=oracle)(ARGS='(DESCRIPTION=(LOCAL=YES)
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=beq)))')(DETACH=NO))
(CONNECT_DATA=(CID=(PROGRAM=)(HOST=flipper)(USER=root))))

First of all, I can connect to this database from the SQL> prompt
using the syntax "connect username/password@database_name".
Secondly, I can successfully test the connection using the
Local Net Service Name Configuration GUI. I've checked my
"listener.ora" and "tnsnames.ora" files and they appear to be
setup correctly. I think if I can determine where the
information in the above error message comes from, I can correct
this error. The above error info definitely does not come from
the "listener.ora" nor the "tnsnames.ora" files.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
