- Also, you must specify the location of the hosts and services
- file in the Oracle "config.ora" file on the PC.
-
- What network package are you using on the PC? I just setup
- SQL*Net on a PC running PC-NFS. It is required to start 'rtm',
- then 'sqltcp' otherwise my connection hung.
-
- I installed sqlplus so I could test the PC -> HOST connection
- before running WINDOWS software. If you try to run SQL*Plus,
- you must also start 'sqlpme'. You must stop 'sqlpme' before
- firing up WINDOWS (I think the command is 'rempme').
-
- Good luck.
