Re: Connecting to a LINUX Oracle 8i Server

Hmmmm, I'm not really sure what you want to get out of the boxes talking to each other. Do you just want to access the database from a remote machine? Use SQL?
In that case Telnet would be the easiest ;-)

When you say 'working with', how do you want to view/modify the data?

You can either go Client/Server and install an Oracle product on the Client or set up a Web Server.

Net8 seems to be working now. I didn't have to make any manual changes to tnsnames.ora this time.

The new setup 'OUI' is pretty slick, but I don't see any options for installing individual products like SQL*Plus on the workstation. <Hmmm...forget client/server she reminds herself>

If you really want easy: check out Portal. I'm only just discovering it, (seeing as I was only really using the PL/SQL cartridges on OAS anyway...) and would really prefer it to be on linux but alas... it's only available for NT or Solaris; hopefully you have an NT box kicking around to set up as a web server.

Have fun,
allison

BTW: I only select TCP for windoze installs. I'm out of my league speaking on networking protocols, but if it works : Þ
