This is my first time trying to setup/use an Oracle database. I have recently downloaded the Oracle 8i Personal Edition. I have installed and created a database called pim.

The problem I am having is getting connected with this database through SQL*Plus, Oracle 8i Navigator and Oracle ODBC Test.

Every time I try to access it I get the following message popping up on my screen:

SQLSTATE: S1000
Native Error Code: 12541
Driver Message: [Oracle}[ODBC][Ora]ORA-12541: TNS no listener

I have used other databases but I have never had to set one up on a Windows '98 machine.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
