I'm having difficulty configuring NET8 and would appreciate any help or guidance available. The problem I have, is that when I connect to the database on the server, from the client (using sqlplus), the Dial-Up Connection dialogue appears (ie what I use to connect to the internet). When I click 'Cancel', it disappears and I'm connected to the remore database.

I've tried everything I can think of to stop the dialogue box appearing. Does anyone have any ideas? Details below.

I've installed Oracle8i Enterprise Edition on a machine called PIGLET (please forgive the silly names) running Windows NT Workstation. I've installed Oracle8i Client on a machine called POOH, which runs Windows 98. The two machines are networked together in a single workgroup, the d drive of PIGLET being shared and appearing to POOH as its g drive.

The ORACLE_HOME on the server (PIGLET) is d:\Oracle\Ora81, the ORACLE_HOME on the client (POOH) is c:\Oracle\Ora81. The database SID is ROO and the Net Service Name is KANGA.com. The various NET8 files are as below.
