Hi,

[Quoted] [Quoted] This is the complete tnsnames.ora text:

# TNSNAMES.ORA Network Configuration File: c:\oraclehome\network\admin\tnsnames.ora # Generated by Oracle configuration tools.

MASTER =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = master)(PORT = 1521))     )
    (CONNECT_DATA =

      (SERVER = DEDICATED)
      (SERVICE_NAME = master)

    )
  )

INST1_HTTP =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = master)(PORT = 1521))     )
    (CONNECT_DATA =

      (SERVER = SHARED)
      (SERVICE_NAME = MODOSE)
      (PRESENTATION = http://HRService)

    )
  )

EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC0))     )
    (CONNECT_DATA =

      (SID = PLSExtProc)
      (PRESENTATION = RO)

    )
  )

The TNSListener service has started. As well as the two other basic services. I'm still receiving errors when trying to connect from Form Builder. The first error is ORA-12571 TNS: packet writer failure and then eventually lsnrctl.exe will crash and I will get a different error ORA-12224 TNS:no listener. I've tried restarting the listener using 'lsnrctl start' from a command prompt but it will just crash again after about a minute.

I'm in desperate need of help, as this is for a piece of university work and the deadline is approaching !

Do you think an upgrade to XP Professional would do any good?

Thanks

Ian McRae
