Changing the hosts file

- 2. Usually it is located in C:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc
- 3. Type edit hosts
- 4. There is a bug in NT hosts which does not read the last added item,
therefore what we have to do is go the last item in the hosts file and
add a letter to the last item, Go back one character and hit enter. After
that letter comes to the next line hit DELETE key and add 90.0.0.80 eo1.

in etc dir. If not change your dir.
- 6. Type get tnsnames.ora to get that file from the server. If the file
is not found here you will always find the file in oracle home. To do that
see where oracle home is installed, do SET at Unix promt, then do the following
cd /oraclehome/network/admin and get the file.
- 7. Type Bye to exit
- 8. It is very important to see that the files came out okay, Therefor
do edit tnsnames.ora. If the file is readable and looks okay just exit.
