Re: How to log on to Oracle SQL*Plus?

I'm having a similar problem, on my home PC, networked only to cable modem company, under W98 SE, I'm asked for a Host String. No idea why, or what value to provide. Selected everything to install from Personal Edition 8i, 8.1.6 CD Pack. Would sure appreciate some insight, since SQL Plus manuals don't reference "Host String" at all, that I can find in the index, anyway.

Thanks, Charlie
