Windows – How to start Oracle database’s listener service after a change in the IP address

oraclewindows

I'm using Windows XP as my Oracle database server. Today there was a change in the IP address if the database server.

I want start my database instance's listener again. Windows XP prompst that: 

OracleOraDb11g_home1TNSListenerMZOA_LISTENER service on the local computer started and stopped. Some services stop automatically if they do not have anything to do.

(ps:MZOA is the name of my db instance)

I updated listener.ora to reflect the new IP.

And my listener.ora is:

# listener.ora Network Configuration File: D:\app\Administrator\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\network\admin\listener.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.

ADR_BASE_MZOA_LISTENER = D:\app\Administrator

MZOA_LISTENER =
  (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST =CHINA-F781B4F30)(PORT = 1521))
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST =localhost)(PORT = 1521))
 #caution:192.168.1.100 is my new ip
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST =192.168.1.100)(PORT = 1521))
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1521))
    )
  )

SID_LIST_MZOA_LISTENER =
  (SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
      (SID_NAME = CLRExtProc)
      (ORACLE_HOME = D:\app\Administrator\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1)
      (PROGRAM = extproc)
      (ENVS = "EXTPROC_DLLS=ONLY:D:\app\Administrator\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\bin\oraclr11.dll")
    )
  (SID_DESC =
      (SID_NAME =mzoa)
      (ORACLE_HOME = D:\app\Administrator\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1)
   )
  )

Unfortunately when I want start the listener, Windows still shows the above prompt. And I donn't know how to do.

To resolve this it is best to delete the listener using the net configuration tools and recreate it. Stop the listener service before doing this. Oracle gets very picky when IP addresses change.
