I have 1 simple question - How (where) do you START THE LISTENER?

And 1 comlex question:

I am getting the NO LISTENER ERROR.
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name I installed Oracle 8i client (in c:\orant), then the 8i Enterprise (in c:\oradev)

I have a listener.ora in c:\orant\network\admin\

                    …but not in c:\oradev\net80\admin\

Should

I try to start SQL*PLUS, but get the NO LISTENER ERROR, using: USER NAME: scott
PASSWORD: tiger
HOST STRING: ORCL <--- ERROR: ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name

I also try to logon using:
USER NAME: scott
PASSWORD: tiger
HOST STRING: w2tzf93101 <--- ERROR: ORA-12224: TNS:no listener

I can logon to a remote oracle database with SQL*PLUS using: USER NAME: xxxx
PASSWORD: yyyyy
HOST STRING: qrepdev <--- CONNECTS TO A REMOTE SERVER DATABASE OK.
