New Oracle Server/Instance/Database...

Hi,

I was having a problem connecting to a new instance.

I installed Oracle8.0.5 on a NT box and skipped the create database step.

Then I followed Oracle's documentation for creating a database.

I ran the Oradim (-starttype auto) to create the instance, modified my registry updated the TNSNAMES.ora & Listener.ora.

However, I still couldn't connect. Finally I realized that the Net80 services hadn't started. Also, I don't appear to have an OracleStartup Service (Though I do have an OracleService service).

Can anybody suggest which steps I might have missed, or performed incorrectly.
