How to configure fully qualified name

[Kishore]

Hi
How do I specify FULLY QUALIFIED NAME in Listener.

For example. I have a database in A computer. Would like to connect from B computer.

I have changed Listener.ora in A computer:

Listener=
(Address_list=...
.....
Protocol=TCP
Server=A.xxx.com
.........


)

In B Computers TNSNAMES

A.xxx.com=
(...
Host=A.xxx.com
......)

This is not working.

XXX - is the domain name.

Any suggestions?

can you telnet to a.xxx.com?
this must be something to do with domains, may be you dont need to put domains in tnsnames.ora

Make sure your client machine's tnsnames.ora has the same entry (for the 8i database) as the server itself.

My cleint name does have exactly same server name in TNSNAMES as in Listener.ora

I am not able to telnet with a.xxx.com but I am able to if I am using on A

Check the hosts file in your PC.
Put both A and A.xxx.com after IP address.
Then try pinging both.
The hosts file is located at
C:\WINDOWS (For Win95)
or
C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC (For WINNT WIN2K)

Sanjay,

I did add in the list of Host file. Still it is not working.

Pando:

One of my client is asking to connect through Global Name, and he is not accpting to access it using IP address.
