i am having ora 8i db configuration problem for a long time.
i install d2k with or 8i in a winnt server.

mydatabase.world =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS =
(COMMUNITY = tcp.world)
(PROTOCOL = TCP)
(Host = myserver)
(Port = 1521)

(ADDRESS =
(COMMUNITY = tcp.world)
(PROTOCOL = TCP)
(Host = myserver)
(Port = 1526)
)
)

(Port = 1521))
)
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = mydatabase)

did u double check your server name (or ipaddress) and database name?.

Trouble shoot:
1)
from dos-prompt , try this

c:>ping myserver

if it gives timed out error, means your computer couldnot see server machine.

2) check domain name parameter in sqlnet.ora parameter.
