i dont have an oracle client on this machine - and may not get one so trying to manually connect.  I pinged the hostname and got this ip address - tried it with both server name and ip - same error (attached).  Clearly the hostname is not null.  how to proceed?

                Hi, thank you for your forum post.
If you close the project configuration. -> Now select the Tools menu on the Toolbar ->Application Options from the list that appears ->In the Connections section ->Check the 'Prefer direct connection' check box. Does this action resolve the problem for you?
Many thanks
