FACT(s) (Environment):
Windows NT 32 Intel/Windows 2000
Windows 32 Intel
SYMPTOM(s):
Error 5192 on machine which dual boot between two (or more) Windows operating systems
Unable to find server <name> with protocol TCP in file SERVICES or SERVICES file not found in expected location. (5192)
CAUSE:
Different windows OS has different location for services file.
Windows 95, 98 and Me : %WINDIR%
Windows NT, 2000 and XP : %WINDIR%\System32\drivers\etc
The service for the database is entered in one services file but not in the other, so when the system boots into the other OS, the service is missing
FIX:
Windows operating systems have an environment variable WINDIR which identifies the directory in which Windows is installed on the machine.
To identify which directory this is, from a command prompt (dos box) type:
SET <return>
(This will list all the environment variables, but we are only interested in WINDIR.)
Depending on which version of Windows you are running, the system will look in the following directory for the SERVICES file:
Windows 95, 98 and Me : %WINDIR%
Windows NT, 2000 and XP : %WINDIR%\System32\drivers\etc
If you are dual booting between operating systems, enter entry for the Service in both Services file.
