title: how can I access oracle database stored on different machine through a desktop application from other machine
body: <p>I have created a desktop application in java using <code>jdbc</code>. I am using <code>Oracle 10g</code> express edition. The scene is, I have two PCs connected through LAN. </p>
  
  <p>On one machine I want to install Oracle and put my database there. From second machine I want to access my oracle database using my desktop application. I want to test if my application can connect to database stored on different machine which is connected through LAN. </p>
  
  <p>In <code>JDBC</code> connection string I have given the IP of the machine where I have installed oracle database. But I am unable to connect. How can I connect? </p>
