Re: TNS-12541 TNS:no listener

I do not have a domain because it is on my home computer. My system is setup as a workgroup. I have tried Net 8 assistant but when I try to test my service for the listener it is grayed out. I had uninstalled and reinstalled Oracle 8i but the problem still exist. Here is my tsnames, sqlnet, and listener files.
