No

Just now It was started (Listener). In morning my net admin started the machine and it was tested. I dont know how it was started but it started. I have just stopped the listener and tried to started it again and it got locked. Since 15 min it is starting only. I guess this is a problem with win 2000 what u guys think.

Hi Sambavan, Khadar, It is was not pinging . the error was tns-12541 After it was started it was pinging and when I stopped it again the same error (I am pinging from another machine where I have oracle on nt). I have typed LSNRCTL>start but it is not starting. I dont know in early morning how it was started. Do I have to make shutdown and restart
