Did you follow the installation instructions on the disk or did you just click on the prompts as they came up?

Did you check to see if the listener is started?

For example: lsnrctl status
When you connect as internal have you checked to see if the database is started?

For example: SELECT COUNT(*) FROM tab$; Exactly what error message are you getting with "ORACLE not available" ... our crystal balls are out being repaired this century.
