JDBC Error - The Network Adapter could not establish the connection

[chandubcs]

Hi all,
I appreciate if anyone could help me out with my issue. I wrote simple java code on win 2000 to test whether I will be able to access Oracle 8i DB resided at some xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx machine within the network.
The code is:
---------------------------------------
DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver());
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc racle:thin:@111.111.11.11:1526 Binstance","user","password");
---------------------------------------
The fist line here is executing and the problem is with second line of code. After executing this application from my DOS window, I am getting error:
java.sql.SQLException: Io exception: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection
at oracle.jdbc.dbaccess.DBError.throwSqlException(DBError.java:169)
at oracle.jdbc.dbaccess.DBError.throwSqlException(DBError.java:211)

at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(Unknown Source)
at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(Unknown Source)
at DBConn.getConn(DBConn.java:15)
at DBConn.main(DBConn.java:40)
I have installed Oracle client, where I can access the same database using SQL * Plus, but why I am unable to access the database from a Java Application? Do I need any web/application server to access it?
Any Suggestions please?
Thanks,
cs

It sounds like you are not connected to the network, but if you can log into the database with SQL Plus, I'd rule that out. Is 111.111.11.11 (or whatever you have as an IP in the URL) the IP address of the database server?
Oh, and there's a checkbox at the bottom of the Post screen that lets you turn smilies off. Necessary for JDBC URLs.

I am sorry guys, I was using the port number as 1526, where I need to use 1521... Thanks much

That's much better than my answer.
