Forum Post: Unable to establish connection to oracle db

Hello, I'm trying to connect to oracle database with my newly installed toad extension for eclipse. I'm using the 'Use client' option and give him C:\Oracle\Dev10g\network\admin\tnsnames.ora file. When pressing TestConnection Button it tells me 'Connection is OK'. But when i confirm the dialog with OK Button, it runs forever with progress bar 'configuring connection performance'. When i abort the progress bar it tells me the following: C:\Oracle\Dev10g\BIN\ocijdbc10.dll: Can't load IA 32-bit .dll on a AMD 64-bit platform What exactly does this mean. And why it tells me first 'Connection is OK'? BTW,I'm connectiing my PL/Sql Developer using this tnsnames.ora file and it works fine. Any help appreciated.
