Answer 1

Look at the registry value HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oracle\OracleMTSRecoveryService\Protid_0\ and make sure that the host name matches your machine name.

If you have Windows 7 the registry path is

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ORACLE\OracleMTSRecoveryService\Protid_0

Answer 2

This worked for me as well, but the registry path was wrong. I'm running Windows 7 and the Oracle 11gR2 client and the registry path is:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ORACLE\OracleMTSRecoveryService\Protid_0

Here is the registry file:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ORACLE\OracleMTSRecoveryService\Protid_0]
"Name"="HTTP"
"Host"="putyourmachinesnamehere.com"
"Port"="2030"
