Toad for Oracle Subscription - Connection Checklist -
Beschreibung
When trying to sign into Toad for Oracle Subscription, the following error may appear:
'Unable to Sign In.
Your machine is connected to the internet but we are unable to reach the sign in server.
Please check anything that might interfere - such as firewall, proxy or VPN settings - and then click the Retry button to try again' -
Lösung
This message when you try to log in, or open Toad for Oracle Subscription is likely to appear when there is something on the machine, or the environment that blocks Toad from connecting to the internet. Please find below, a connection checklist, which should help to solve this issue.
(You may need to check with your network/admin team if certain changes need to be made that they have the permissions to change for example. If there is any firewall in place that might block the Toad.exe process from connecting to the internet, it will need to be whitelisted.)
