RE: SQLNet.ora file

It was probably configured not to permit remote access. You don't need sqlnet.ora, but it's useful if you want to use authentication (for example, on an NT network).

I am new to Oracle and have been trying to connect to the database remotely.
I finally am able to connect; however, I had to delete SQLNet.ora. Does anybody know if this will hurt anything?

Thanks,
