Jeff,

thanks for your quick response, SQLnet and TNsnames are correct. The reason I know it's correct b/c after a while to troubleshoot, I used the database configuration assistant to create another database, the new database works fine and I copy the connect string of this database and change the SERVICE_NAME and connect string to the one I have the problem with, but it's still not working.

I am runng two Oracle_home on this box(8i,9i) anything special I have to be aware????


Any other advises???
