Re: Oracle 7 Workgroup Server Question - Remote Access

Hi Michael,

there's no need to send the files because if you have installed the SQL*Net software (SQL*Net server on the NT box, SQL*Net client on your laptop) you will have template files TNSNAMES.ORA and LISTENER.ORA in the %ORACLE_NOME%\RDBMS73\NETWORK\ADMIN directory. SQL*Net Easy Configuration program (used for configuring the TNSNAMES.ORA) should be available on installing the client. When you are careful enough, you can also edit TNSNAMES.ORA directly, e.g. in notepad.

Hth,
Pavel
