Oh, you wanted to set it up on NT? I CAN'T EVEN GET 8.1.6 ONAMES
*INSTALLED*, much less running! I finally just gave up and went with our
development HP9000 L-class as the "backup" server.
Erm, one other thing I just remembered: We are running 8.1.6 Networking on
the HP. Since my ONAMES is 8.0.5 on OpenVMS, I didn't want to try 8.1.6
ONAMES as it's backup -- who knows what differences there might be? So, I
installed 8.0.6 ONAMES on HP. Well, for some reason, after firing the 8.0.6
ONAMES backup server on the same box where 8.1.6 networking was being used,
I started getting ORA-12xxx packet drop errors. Shutdown the 8.0.6 ONAMES
and all's fine.
Hmmmm...

I personally had the opposite experience. When I tried to set up Oracle
Names, I first tried Oracle Names for Oracle NT 7.3.4. I never was
successful in starting it, and when I called Oracle support the person on
the phone said "I've never managed to make it work either." When I tried
Oracle Names 8.0 on HP-UX it worked right the very first time.
If one wanted to set it up (it's not really that much more difficult than
starting up a listener), I would asking someone to provide sample
configuration files (i.e. names.ora and sqlnet.ora). With examples of those
two files it should be easy.
