Hello Friends

There is query related to handling multiple databases.
I have created a new database on Oracel8i (Windows Nt)
apart from my default database using DBCA.

My problem is when I am DOS prompt I am able to work on
the new database saying SET ORACLE_SID=NEWDB. However
when I run the SQL from windows and enters databse name
in the HOST STRING block ,it does not connect it gives
me TIMEOUT error. Earlier I have posted this question
and got the replies to modify SQLNET.ORA file and also
to set the TIMEOUT but these things are not working.
There are only two parameters AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES and
DIRECTORY_PATH in SQLNET.ORA. My TNSNAMES.ORA file is also
correctly setup. DO I have to make any change in the Initial
parameter file of new database. I have also set the parameter
ORACLE_TRACE_ENABLE=TRUE. Still it is giving "TNS operation
timed out". Can you please tell me what's the problem and where
to change it correctly.

Amol
