"TNS: could not resolve service name" constantly appears. I have used the Net8 Config Assistant to create the connection, and all appears fine. It tests ok using the Net8 Assistant. Importing the same information into the DBA Studio, and I'm not able to connect. SQLPlus comes back with the same error. If I connect using 'username/password@service_name' it fails, but 'username/password' works.
Both the client and server are installed on the local machine - a setup that has never caused me a problem before.

I have created a net service name on another Client machine, and this connects - DBA Studio, Net8 Assistant, etc... without problem.

I'm using 8.1.7 Server and Client utilities. The failure occurred with an old 'test' database. I've created a new DB, and am seeing the same problems.

Anyone got any clues?!

Manually added item to SQLNET.ORA file. All appears to be operational.
original:
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (ONAMES, HOSTNAME)

new:
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES, ONAMES, HOSTNAME)

SIR,

EDIT THE SQLNET.ORA FILE
FOR THE FOLLOWING PARAMETER

SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= NONE

EXECUTE THE FOLLOWING COMMAND USING THE
LSNRCTL80.EXE OR LSNRCTL.EXE FILE

C:ORANTBIN>LSNRCTL80
THEN YOU GET PROPMT LIKE

LSNRCTL>
THEN START THE LISTENER PROCESS

LSNRCTL>START

IF IT IS ALREADY STARTED,THEN GIVE THE COMMAND

LSNTRCL>STATUS

IF THE REPLY IS GOOD,THEN GO TO THE TNSNAMES.ORA FILE FOR THE HOST STRING

THEN YOU CONNECT WITH THE DATABASE LIKE
USERNAME/PASSWORD@HOST STRING

IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT,MAIL TO ME.

K.SREENIVASAN
PLEASE

i have been installing d2k in a p4 m/c with win2000.i had tried to configure the net8 easy config.i had the message 'jre.exe has generated errors'.on the net i got a suggestion to change the rename the file symcjit.dll to .old.
then i got the screen .but on putting the database sidd and the hostnames i was not able to connect to the db.so i reinstalled the d2k.now on trying to configure net8 easyconfig,the hourglass
