Re: help w/ Laptop install of Oracle 9i

What do you use to connect with? I've been using 9i on my lpatop for months (including betas) and I've never had a problem. All I use is simple commands like this:

c:\> sqlplus /nolog
SQL*Plus: Release 9.0.1.0.1 - Production on Thu Nov 1 08:48:07 2001

(c) Copyright 2001 Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved.

SQL> connect / as sysdba
Connected.
SQL> connect system/manager
Connected.
SQL> No connect strings needed. My laptop is virtually never on the network (I use a desktop for that).
