unable to discover node

[anirudhadeo]

Hi
I am facing a problem i haved installed oracle 8i on my machine During installation i was logged in to windows 2000 mc to my network(domain) login.

Nowadays i am logging to my local machine and not the network(domain) login , i can access all the utilities of oracle 8i .... and can create database ...net8..configuration etc... but the problem is that I am unable to discover the node(with my machine name )
through the enterprise manager console ... i can see the database services running ... even when i net 8 configure the database on my machine it is connecting properly..... but through other machines in the network i am unable to detect the node(my machine).. (there is no problem with my network)
I think that this problem is becoz of the fact that i was logged to my network domain to my computer during installation and when working i am logged to my local machine.....
if this is the problem is there any way i can solve it or shall i reinstall the oracle 8i on the local machine



hope i am not confusing you
waiting for your help....
thanks
Anirudha.

Hi,

when discover node fails, then this has often to do with DNS or domain-problems, also dynamic IP-addresses can cause these problems.

It definitively has nothing to do with the DOMAIN-USER you used during installation.

The reason is: The computer settings and/or name-service is not the same when you are logged in as a local user. We need more informations to debug the cause here, since there are some possible reasons:

- look into your INIT.ORA-file:
service_names = db_name || db_domain
does it contain your domain as DB-domain

- look into your LISTENER.ORA-file:
The SID-description global_dbname should be the service name of your db.
In which way did you specify your host there: by name only, by name.<domain>, by IP ?

- look for the same in your tnsnames.ora?!

- proof your dns when you are locally connected, is it still working ? If no then check your network, TCP/IP properties.

- and so on
