[snip tnsnames.ora and listener.ora ... cursory look ... see no errors]

Open a DOS window and type the following:

ping pfe-2kznt32b8ki
tnsping orcl

Do either of these report errors? If no errors, try this in the DOS window:

set ORACLE_SID=ORCL
sqlplus system/manager

Do you get any errors?

Waiting for you answers to these questions before trying next step (since there's a split in the debugging path here). Received on Thu Jan 16 2003 - 12:16:59 CST
