I had SQL*NET on a NT machine that's used to connect to Oracle on a Unix box.
I then installed the trasparent gateway on the NT machine so that Oracle can
talk to SQL Server on the NT machine. However I can't find the
OracleTNSListener service. Why did this piece did not get installed?

Any help is appreciated.

Have you tried the command NET TNSLSNR START (I am too sure about the
command syntax, but should be close this) at the command prompt ?

Also, talk to your NT Server administrator and have a look in the
Registry under the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services. It is possible
that the start setting for the service is SERVICE_DISABLED rather than
SERVICE_AUTO_START (check with ORACLE Support on that one; on the NET
command syntax, too). Change the setting to the appropriate value. At
the next reboot of server, the listener should start.

If the OracleTNSListener service is not listed in the Registry, you may
have to do a re-installation.

Hope this helps.
