Interesting.

When installing Oracle 8.0.4 on NT, there are 2 versions of the listener installed, tnslsnr.exe and the 'new' tnslsnr80.exe.

A service is installed for each. For some reason, the old tnslsnr.exe is setup to start automatically, while the newer tnslsnr80.exe is not.

Try connecting internal using the old listener.

Or without any listener for that matter.

It won't work. I spent a fair amount of time tracking this particular problem down.

No, I don't really understand their statement either, at least not from the partial context given.

Hi DBAs,

This is a partial response from Oracle on

ORA-12500: TNS:listener failed

                                                                   to 
start a dedicated server 
                                                                   process 
 
  

  
 "...12500 is a sqlnet error, and 
                                                                   you are

                                                                   This

usually does not use the

                                                                   I do

not understand this
explanation, can someone
clarify? Is Oracle saying if

                                                                   you 
connect via internal that 
                                                                   the

listener is not used.

                                                                   Thanks  
 
                                                                   Rick
