Hi !

Did svrmgr work ???
Verify ORACLE_SID and ORACLE_HOME

Are U connected on the console or did U use a tools like 'Remote Control' or 'Terminal Server' ?
Because there is conflict with sqlplus and those tools.

else

Go to the control panel and Verify that all OracleServices are STARTED

Did U install Oracle ( or someone else ??? ).
Did sqlplus work on this server on another database ?
Reply me if it still doesn't work..

As U can See there are many possibilies ...

I have the exact same problem and to elaborate:
a) i installed Oracle myself
b) i'm running version8.1.7
c) I verified to see if TNS listener started.
d) SQLplus worked on this computer before
e) I'm connected to SQLplus via the console.

I'm not sure what to do. I verified the SID and ORA_HOME variables. However I cannot connect as either scott/tiger or system/manager. I haven't tried to see if svrmgr works. What am I supposed to do now? Any help will be appreciated.
