Hello,

probably a beginners-question, but it's something I can't figure out.

• I've installed Oracle server version 8 on my Windows NT 4 server.
• On this file-server I've created the standard ORCL database and I've modified the TNSNAMES.ORA and the LISTENER.ORA so I can reach the database (as system/manager, on the server). This goes OK
• I've installed the Oracle 8 client on my Windows 95 workstation
• The windows workstation/username has an account on the NT server (I can login / map / etcetera)
• I've modified the TNSNAMES.ORA file in G:\ORAWIN95\NET80\ADMIN and changed the HOST name, so now it's:

Tcp-loopback.world =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS =

          (PROTOCOL = TCP)
          (HOST = my_nt_server)
          (PORT = 1521)

    )
    (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = ORCL)
    )
  )

BUT: I can't reach the server from the workstation. I think I have to install the
TCP/IP part of both the NT server and the Win95 workstation, but how, where
and what? I dont have a real TCP/IP adress, so is there some sort of fake adress
one can use? Please help me.

Thanks in advance.
