Hello

[Quoted] [Quoted] I have a problem with Windows 95 Dev2000 client and Oracle 7.2.3 [Quoted] on Sun Solaris 2.4 with SQL*Net v2.

I don't know what TCP/IP adapters i have to choose. I try a lot. I use Net Chameleon, MS Windozs for Worgroups ... Maybe i miss something.

The error is:
12500, 00000, "TNS:listener failed to start a dedicated server process"
// *Cause: The process of starting up a dedicated server process
failed.
// The executable could not be found or the environment maybe set up
// incorrectly.
// *Action: Turn on tracing at the ADMIN level and reexecute the
operation.
// Verify that the ORACLE Server executable is present and has execute
// permissions enabled. Ensure that the ORACLE environment is specified
// correctly in LISTENER.ORA. If error persists, contact Worldwide
Customer
// Support.

I did that, and here is the trace:
