Re: Personal Oracle 8 and Developer on same PC - Connection Problem

Try removing all oracle products from your system. Also wipe out the registry entries for Oracle. Then install Developer 6 first followed by Personal Oracle 8.

Search for sqlnet.ora file [..\Net80\Admin\sqlnet.ora ] on your system and delete the following line from it:

[Quoted] sqlnet.authentication_services = (NONE)

This is normally the second line. you can either delete this line or just rem it out.

This should do the trick.

Cheers.
