Re: Very Basic Oracle 8 Client Server config question

After reading the section 4 ( Configuring the Oracle 8 System ) subsection Post Installation Steps for Oracle Intelligent Agent ( all of this in the Installation
Guide ) I was able to get running the Master Agent , Encap Agent and had the Sun Master SNMP agent moved to another port. Note you have to kill the Sun Master Agent before running the start_agent script in the snmp/peer directory. Shutting down these agents must be done in the correct order ( encap before master ) or you have more problems ( undocumented ).

After all this I still though cannot get my NT workstation box to recognize the Agent . I have switched to a local test and have problems that I have listed in another post.

                    Thanks all for the info you have sent me.
