  Uninstall hidden network and other devices on Windows SixSigns | CommentsUninstall+hidden+network+and+other+devices+on+Windows2008-10-20+10%3A26%3A13SixSigns

  We just moved a lot of our physical server to a virtualization infrastructure. In doing so we wanted to use the same IP-addresses on the virtual servers. That is not a problem, but once you virtualize your server your hardware bound network card is not in use anymore and you will have to replace it with the virtual network card. But when you address your IP-address to the Network adapter you will get a message saying, that your IP-address is already assigned to another network adapter and because it is not available physically it will also not show in the network ...

  For users that are using a Windows (XP/2003) German (Switzerland) version and want to install the Oracle 10gR2 database release, they will find that the installation of the database configuration utility will abort with the error messages: ORA-00604: error ocured at recursive SQL level1 ORA-02248: invalid option for ALTER SESSION So, what is the problem and how to solve it? First off, the 10.1 release will install without any problems and this bug is only seen in the 10gR2 release. From my findings there is a problem with the NLS_CURRENCY which is derived from the NLS_TERRITORY setting. Somehow Oracle messes up with it. The ...
