Lisa, Sorry if this is duplicate information, but i have not been keeping up with the thread. If you look at tar# 622704.999 someone had a similiar problem upgrading 8i (I know you are working on 10G, but the problems look similiar enough). the fix was to put local_listener in the init.ora.

I prefer to keep that out of the mix, it's just more typing and more mess. I can't tnsping. Guess I should have checked this first.=3D20 Used TNSNAMES adapter to resolve the alias Attempting to contact (DESCRIPTION =3D3D (ADDRESS_LIST =3D3D (ADDRESS = =3D3D (PROTOCOL =3D3D TCP) (HOST =3D3D floex0cwdev01)(PORT =3D3D 1521))) (CONNECT_DATA =3D3D =3D (SERVICE_NAME =3D3D +ASM)) TNS-12533: TNS:illegal ADDRESS parameters C:\Documents and Settings\lkoivu2> Does the server need to have a static ip? This one doesn't.=3D20 As far as I can tell, tnsnames and listener are correct, the listener reports +ASM as a service. Sqlnet.ora only has authentication_services=3D3D(NTS) set.=3D20 This used to be so simple.

When it works, then you can put in the parameter local_listener. If you have domain (NAMES.DEFAULT_DOMAIN ) in sqlnet.ora , then it must be a part of the tnsnames.ora descriptor name, or the things will not work. Welcome = to=3D20 the Oracle*Net configuration nightmare.
