Hello Miachel,
I've the same problem with oracle 8.0.5 Enterprise edition.
When I'm not connected to network i can not connect to local db.
Then i wrote the following entry in the tnsnames.ora and all is ok.
Loc.world =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS =
(COMMUNITY = beq.world)
(PROTOCOL = BEQ)
(PROGRAM = oracle73)
(ARGV0 = oracle73ORCL)
(ARGS = '(DESCRIPTION=(LOCAL=YES)(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=beq)))')
)
)
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = ORCL) <<<< this is your sid
)
)
