Re: Listener will not start.

The configuration file for that listener is in %ORACLE_HOME%\network\admin\listener.ora There is a line host = <yourhost> Preferably there should not be an IP address there.
This means you need some sort of DNS resolution. You can do that either in C:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts or lmhosts (file without extension). If that doesn't resolve the issue, you need to change or add the following line in your listener.ora
trace_level_listener = 16
This will dump everything which is happening to a listener.trc file, usually in c:\orant\bin, unless you have the line trace_directory_listener = <any directory>

NB: The ip -address of your server should be fixed!!!
