Hi All,

We've got an installation where several NT clients connect (via ODBC) to a Oracle 8i database on a HP-UX box.

One tnsnames.ora is used by all clients and it resides on a NT Server on the network. On it there is ONLY one definition and it is of our HP server with TCP/IP has the protocol.

It works fine and the clients can connect, but sometimes and we can't pinpoint when, the clients stop being able to connect to the database.

When we check the sqlnet.log we see the clients trying to connect using Bequeath as the protocol, and obviously to the local machine, SID name ORCL, etc. We close the app and eventualy a bit later everything is OK again and the client is using TCP/IP to connect to the Database again.

Can you tell me why this is happening ? Does Net8 default to Bequeath when he is not able to use the tnsnames.ora indicated ?

Help !
