Hallo,
which version of ORACLE do you use?
The changes on sqlnet.ora show only the connection errors, not the errors on
starting the server.

If you use ORACLE 8.1.5 there is a little trap. You need to put a colon at the
end of the line in oratab
if you user dbstart to start the database. On ORACLE 8.0.5 this is not
neccessary.
You can test this if you run dbstart od dbshut as your dbadmin.
There you can see if this two shell scripts work properly (ps -aux |grep ora*).
