Re: Logging in

Why are you using ODBC?

SQL*Plus uses Net8 to connect to the server. You need to use the Net8 Configuration Assistant to create a service name which stores all the information to connect to the database. You then identify this service name in the Host String that Sql*plus asks for,,

Username: Scott
Password : Tiger
Host String: [Here you enter your net service name, which is typical the same as your database]

The prompts you show do not seem to be SQL*plus prompts i.e. login, Server etc..

It might help to read the manuals before posting..
