I have just been assigned to try to do testing on a Windows 2000 machine. Oracle 8.1.7 had already been installed and an instance 'abc' existed. Something weird is going on and I'm sure it is a configuration problem, but I can't figure out where. When I am at a command prompt and perform set ORACLE_SID=abc, and then try to connect to db, I receive the common 12560 error. HOWEVER, when I type sqlplus user/pwd@ abc I am able to connect fine. The service is set up in tnsnames.ora and listener.ora. Does anyone have any troubleshooting tips they can share?
Thanks in advance.

I have this problem all the time, sometimes and I stress only sometimes! setting the sqlnet.ora parameter NAMES.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES to = (NONE)e.g. NAMES.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NONE) works I do not know why it does not always work I suspect it is something to do with windows security.
HTH.
