Re: client-server without the server..

Well, I can try.

Server - 'real' as in NT Server, W2000 Server, SunSolaris, MoonSolaris - meaning OS where db server is installed.

As a 'non-server' - W2k pro, XP , NT workstation, linux , whatever, without any network domains, dhcp's etc.. Just TCP/ip..

I get ping working ok between w98 i w2kpro, each machine can see/access the other's folders/partitions, both with static IP's, set with same Workgroup name,
but tnsping/SqlPlus on w98 give 'can not resolve service name' & alikes. (8.1.5 SE server & client). SqlPlus connects ok localy (on the "server").

Tried with entries in hosts files, tried all combinations in tnsnames, no luck...:o(
