I had tried the DNS host file and WINS already. But no luck.

I had also tried ping/tnsping/telnet 999.99.99.999 but no luck. I had also tried http://999.99.99.999:8888/, but still no luck.

When I go back to the installation log, I have the following errors:

Yes, exactly. Am I correct:

1. start the Oracle 8 and start the OracleTNSListener.
2. start the wrb.
3. start admin.
4. start www.

Anything is missing?
