First make sure that there is a *local* ORA_DBA group, and that whoever you
are logged in as when trying to connect is a member of that group. Second,
your sqlnet.ora probably needs editing. I can't remember the exact name of
the paramater, but it's something like SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES ...it
needs to be set to NTS, but is probably sitting there right now set to NONE.
