Following is the result of netstat -a

It doesn't look like anything is listening on port 5500. Although it does look like a couple of the Oracle services are established on ports 199 & 1182.

I took a look in my service control panel & found a service for http ssl, but no plain http service.

Question: am I supposed to be running IIS right now? Is that where the http service comes from? or is it installed by the OUI?

I took a look in the OUI last night, but I could not seem to find it. If you know where it is & could describe the installation procedure to me, that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your help so far! Received on Thu Jan 20 2005 - 11:27:04 CST
