Ok, there is a problem.
My server with Oracle 8i works perfectly.

I want to configure new clients (Intel PC with WinXP Pro) to connect to my Oracle database.
So, I've downloaded Oracle client 8.1.7 on Oracle web site. (last link on this page :
http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/oracle8i/htdocs/winsoft.html)

Next, I've made a silent install for this package, it works perfectly (on NT4, it don't want to
start on XP computers but it's another subject...). After installed the client I had to configure them to connect to my server !! isn't it ?
So, I think it's the listener configuration, no ? maybe I should say Net8 configuration ?

I'd like to silently configure the connection to the server ! How can I make ?

If you are an oracle expert (maybe ?), do you know why the setup (.\install\win32\ normal, not
silent) don't start on XP computers ?

Thanks a lot for your help.
Have a nice week-end.
