RE: Confused about client Net8 to 8.1.6 on Solaris

Hi Don,

probably your DBA uses Oracle Names or host resolution method. Check your sqlnet.ora file and try to find out the parameter "names.directory_path" For example, my sqlnet.ora contains the following parameter: names.directory_path = (TNSNAMES, HOSTNAME). It means that client firstly tries to use tnsnames.ora. If it's not successed, client tries to use host resolution method.
