I would be soo greatful if somebody could help me with this problem I have been facing. I am trying to put a front end JAVA GUI to mySQL through Oracle. The code I am using works fine at UNI but at home it does not connect.

Here is the code I am using for the ConnectionManager:

private ConnectionManager(){
String username = "scoot";//replace yourusername with your Oracle ID
String password = "tiger";//replace yourpassword with your Oracle password
try {
// Load the Oracle Driver
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");

try{
// Get a connection from the connection factory
con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbcracle:thin:@ pime:1521:ssd",username, password);
}
catch (SQLException e){
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
System.out.println("Cannot connect - have you got the correct username and password?");
System.exit(0);
}
}

The SQLException I get returns this message: "Io exception: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection"

Any suggestions would be really greatful!

Thanks
Sunny

Sorry people i was just me being stupid...my damm Firewall was stoping the ConnectionManager from creating a connection!
