Oracle to sqlserver 2000 connection

Question

Hi
I recently made a connection from oracle9i (solrais 10) to sql server 2000(V 8.0).
I'm encountering following issue, if someone could help me that would really great.
SQL Error: ORA-28536: error in processing Heterogeneous Services initialization parameters
ORA-28508: invalid value TITANSTAGE for Heterogeneous Services initialization parameter HS_DB_NAME
ORA-02063: preceding 2 lines from TITANSTAGE
28536. 00000 - "error in processing Heterogeneous Services initialization parameters"
*Cause:    An error described by a subsequent error message
prevented successful processing of Heterogeneous Services
initialization parameters from the ORACLE server data dictionary.
*Action:   Check server data dictionary views HS_CLASS_INIT, HS_INST_INIT, and
HS_ALL_INITS. Look for conditions which could produce
the error identified in the error message immediately
following this one.
Below is the listener.ora

Its good to you,
I am having a similar problem: I get ORA-28508 from oracle gateway. When I try to connect mssql server from sqlplus.
Everything goes fine when I connect on port 1433. So I think the root of my problem is that I specify the port number in the wrong way:
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO="address='hostname/instancename' port='1106'"
If your problem was similar or the same, then you could help me by by posting your solution.
