# Net Service Name Configuration, Connecting

Net8 Configuration Assistant attempts to connect to the remote server.

A successful test results in following message:

`Connecting...Test successful.`

If the test fails, it can be because the:

- Default user name (scott) and password (tiger) is not valid

- Protocol address information does not match the listener information
- Listener is not running
- Destination database service is down

Depending on your diagnosis of the problem, perform one of the following tasks:

- Choose Change Login to change the user name and password for the connection.

- Choose Back to review protocol address information.
- Start the listener or database on the server.
