Re: Installation of Oracle Apps on Win XP

Hi:

Thanks for your help. But as you rightly said, setting up DNS can be very tricky. I spend the whole day today trying to set up Simple DNS plus I downloaded from download.com tried to configure it. If I do a Lookup, the DNS server responds fine but when I ping the server from the command line, it says server failure/server not found error.

I tried then to run the Oracle Apps Installer again and the system validity check gave the same error. Unable to find Host <name>

I have tried all means and its just not able to locate the DNS server.

Any more suggestions? would appreciate any help.

Thanks
