There are two ways to get rid of the names server from the list in net8 assistant. One is to shut down the names server and then do a "discover names servers". The other is to just edit the sdns.ora file manually and delete the line. On windows the file is called sdns.ora. On unix it's prefixed with a "." to make it hidden. It should be in the %ORACLE_HOME%/network/names directory. Received on Tue Mar 25 2003 - 19:32:41 CET
