Re: Oracle Service Prob on Win95

The problem actually sounds more like the network than ORACLE.

If you are using TCP/IP, try both pinging and tnspinging before a reinstall. Timeouts are more often because of network traffic/routers/etc than failed server or client software.

Also, the error numbers could help.
