Re: creating new oracle instance in windows NT server

hi,
if u have oracle client loaded on your machine then goto programs --oracle for windowsNT -- (a.if u have oracle 7) sqlnet easy configuration
there u will need to give an alias - usually same as your system identifier (SID) and host name (IP address), SID, protocol (TCP/IP). save and then try connecting. in case of oracle 8 goto programs --oracle for windowsNT -- oracle net8 easy config and do the same.
if client is not loaded then append (in the last) the following to your tnsnames.ora file in orant/network/admin (in case of oracle 7) or orant/net80/admin directory

abc.WORLD =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (COMMUNITY = tcp.world)(PROTOCOL = TCP)(Host = 999.99.99.99)(Port = 1521))

      (ADDRESS = (COMMUNITY = tcp.world)(PROTOCOL = TCP)(Host = 999.99.99.99)(Port = 1526))

    )
    (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = abc))
  )

abc is your SID and abc.WORLD is the alias. Replace 999.99.99.99 with your server/host IP address.
let me know if it works.
