Hello all,

I have 2 newly created instances on my box (Oracle 8.1.5 on a SUN 2.6 box) I am trying to create another new one but I get the foll error. ORA-03114 not connected to ORACLE
The Oracle Error messages states
"A call to Oracle was attempted when no connection was established. Usually this happens because a user-written program has not logged on. It may also happen if communication trouble causes a disconnection. "

What am I doing wrong?
I've checked for any processes hanging around from a previous instance crash, even bounced the box...
I'm clueless at this point..

Thanks all,
