>how can I bring the database back up?
no listener is required to start or utilize Oracle RDBMS

log onto DB Server & do exactly as below

sqlplus
/ as sysdba
startup
exit

If you meant real login credentials: with the regular credentials it doesn't work as well.
I use the same sysdba credentials and it gives me the original error message I posted.

I don't understand. If the database is up and running, what is the problem? How did it restart, as you initially said it was down and you made no indication that you brought it back up.

Are your environment variables set properly to startup the correct database?

>> If the database is up and running, what is the problem?

the database and listener services in the OS are up and running.
I cannot connect to the database due to the originally posted error.

I *restarted* the database and listener services to see if this will solve the original error,
but it didn't, still can't connect.

I have a TNS_ADMIN environment variable that leads to %ORACLE_HOME%\network\admin.
I tried to change it to C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\network\admin and restart the listener - same problem.

any ideas what else should I check?

if/when ORACLE_SID not correct, can result in ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error

this is probably what has happend.

I am still investigating what and why caused this..
but what has let me connect was defining the next set of variables explicitly in SQL*Plus session:

set ORACLE_SID=*SID_NAME*
set ORACLE_HOME=C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1
PATH %ORACLE_HOME%\bin;%PATH%
set NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8PC850
set NLS_DATE_FORMAT=yyyy-mm-dd.hh24-mi-ss
set NLS_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT=yyyy-mm-dd.hh24-mi-ss.ff6
set TNS_ADMIN=%ORACLE_HOME%\network\admin
set SQLPATH=%ORACLE_HOME%\rdbms\admin;c:\my_scripts

can someone guess what of these solved the issue?

Regards,
Andrey

Nice guess;)

I assume it was the SID_NAME.
where is it supposed to be configured?

Again I do not understand. If you cannot connect, how did you set these variables in a sql*plus session? And the above are OS environment variables, not DEFINEd sqlplus session variables.
ORACLE_SID is what connects you to the correct database if it is set at the OS (along with ORACLE_HOME).

Please let me correct myself.
I *first* ran the "set" command in cmd window and then coul connect by SQL*Plus.

apologies for misinforming.
