Hi,

I am running Oracle developer 6.0 on a win98 platform. I am trying to connect Form Builder onto a Database that is running on the same machine - a local database. I have gotten this to work before with Listener and such from the help of this NG. However, I took a break from form and report learning and did a few weeks of SQL.

Now, I am trying to get back into form and it does not work anymore. I have check the TNSNAMES.ORA, LISTENER.ORA, SQLNET.ORA and NAME.ORA and they are identitical on both the D:\ORAWIN95\NET80\ADMIN and the D:\Oracle\Ora81\NETWORK\ADMIN.

	When I try to connect via Form builder, it is coming up with
this error: 	ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name  


	(if I am on the internet)
	When I test the connection via Net8 Assistance Connection
Test, I get this error: 	ORA-12541:TNS:no listener  

	(if I am not on the internet)
	When I test the connection via Net8 Assistance Connection
Test, I get this error: 	ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error

ORCL.ORACLE =

    )
  )

USE_CMAN = true

SQLNET.EXPIRE_TIME = 0 NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (ONAMES, TNSNAMES, HOSTNAME)

Below is a copy of my NAMES.ORA
# D:\ORACLE\ORA81\NETWORK\ADMIN\NAMES.ORA Configuration File:d:\Oracle\Ora81\NETWORK\ADMIN\names.ora # Generated by Oracle Net8 Assistant

NAMES.SERVER_NAME = data1.doomsday

NAMES.ADDRESSES =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = ORCL)) Changes since : I honestly can't remember. I know that I inslalled an updated network driver but I believe the network WAS working before. I installed IPX/SPX on the machine but I have not removed it and the error still persist.

As mentioned before, I am actually doing the developer path, thus, this admin. side of issue is very confusing to me. Any help on the matter will be greatly appriciated.
