Re: net8 config: db_name/service_names conflict?

What name is the listener expecting? Look in the listener.ora file. This is the name you should use in the tnsnames.ora file on the client. This should work if your listener.ora file is correctly configured. If this doesn't help, please post the contents of listener.ora from the server, tnsnames.ora from the client and any error messages you receive.

HTH,
Patrick
