Re: Oracle DBA's should know this problem... HELP!!!!!!!!

Make sure the following lines are set
in NET8's listener.ora (%ORACLE_HOME%\net80\admin\listener.ora) trace_level_listener = 16
trace_directory_listener = %ORACLE_HOME% (whatever is in your case) \net80\trace
in sqlnet 2.3's sqlnet.ora (ORACLE_HOME\network\admin) trace_level_client = 16
trace_directory_client = etc...
and post the associated trace files you get.
