Hi there,

I have implemented in my project. SQL*Net V2 is installed on Novell server and all the client pc's are pointing to network drive for SQL*net.

You need to do the following.

1. Edit c:\windows\win.ini. Under [Oracle] section, add the following line

   ORA_CONFIG=f:\orawin\network\admin\oracle.ini

   Basically you point to a common ORACLE.ini

2. If you are using TCPIP, then you need to have VSL.INI under c:\windows directory.

Try the above solution and please let me know the outcome.
