Net8 Assistant is sometimes picky about the arrangement of the tnsnames.ora and sqlnet.ora files. I've experienced the behaviour you are describing several times, and it's always come about as the result of manual modifications. Try renaming sqlnet.ora and tnsnames.ora, and then run netca. If the assistant runs, then you can copy entries one at a time from your renamed files into your new files. Restart netca each time. Eventually, you'll find the entry that makes netca break. Alternatively, just recreate everything using netca.

I'm not sure I can help with this problem. Are you certain that you have your tnsname.ora entry defined correctly?
