Re: Autostart 817 on Win2K

If all the above steps have failed check your sqlnet.ora in oraclehome\network\admin folder

See if it is set for = sqlnet.authentication_services=(none)

Depending on the entry for this the database will not start. This is the entry that will determine authentication for your database. Please read up and understand what this does before changing on any kind of production database. For a practice database this is fine with a value of none. This should solve the problem you have with the database not starting on W2k.
