Chris, you said you installed Oracle, but did you also build a database? If so I believe the default SID is ORCL unless you changed it. You should be able to connect to this database without configuring Net 8 through Easy Config.

Did you check all the log files to make sure there were not errors reported? Sometimes you can run into a resource (memory or disk space) problem.
