When i run oracle installer on my computer (NT 4.0 w/s), it shows me, that i have following products installed (amoung other stuff of course):

• Oracle Net*8 Client 8.0.5.0.0 (this is the Net*8 protocol layer, i believe)
• Oracle TCP/IP Protocol Adapter 8.0.5.0.0 (this is the Net*8 interface to TCP)

You need both of those installed in Oracle client computers. Probably you need to install some additional Net*8 products on your Oracle server (sth. like Oracle Net*8 Server???). Since i don't have any Oracle8/NT combos around, i really can't tell.

Read the Oracle "Net*8 Administrator's Guide" specific to your platform.

HTH,
