Re: NEWBIE: Oracle8 NT setup questions

When you type connect, try using the user and sid in the connect string, like this:

connect user/password_at_sid

It looks like you may not have the oracle listener installed: you should have a service that ends in the database sid as your listener: you can do that with the oradim80 command, which will create a service. You DO need this installed to connect to the database.

Hope that helped.
