hi john

unitl now i have not worked with oracle 8i, but in oracle 8 you have the following syntax:

jdbc:oracle:thin:@hostname:port_of_the_listener:SID

where the hostname is the name of the db host, the port_of_the_listener is NORMALLY 1521
and the SID ist the instance name of the db. so 1521 is your portnumber. by the way, have you started the listener on your db host

                                               thomas
