Every time when I log into our network, I do not have problem coneect to my local database. But when I do not log into our network, say, at home or travel, I can not connect to my local database anymore. My listener can not get started, because the IP address is not correct. I add the following entry to my tnsnames.ora beq.WORLD = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = BEQ)(PROGRAM = oracle80) (ARGV0 = oracle80shao816)(ARGS = '(DESCRIPTION=(LOCAL=YES)(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=BEQ)))')) ) (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = MYSID) ) ) which I copied from metalink, but it will not work. I always got error message saying that service name not found, could somebody tell me what is wrong with the beq entry?
