You need to make sure that you have your database up. Find out your SID
name (instance) and enter the appropriate info into SQL*Net Easy
Configuration Util. Whatever your trying to run (SQL Plus) is using TNS
to talk to the database and it cannot find the database because you have
not specified anything in the SQL*net easy config.
