Hi All,

I have Oracle 10g on linux box. and this box is setup with DHCP. The oracle was working fine the whole day. Suddenly i got erro Oracle Not Available, No Such file or directory. and couldn't connect to the db. Then i tried with sysdba and tried to starup, it says end-of-communication channel. Then i tried starting the listner, the it gave me following error...

LSNRCTL> start
Starting /u01/app/oracle/product/10.1.0/db1/bin/tnslsnr: please wait...

TNSLSNR for Linux: Version 10.1.0.2.0 - Production System parameter file is

TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error

Linux Error: 98: Address already in use

Listener failed to start. See the error message(s) above...

Can anyone help me what is the problem and what i have to do?
