Hello,

Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition (test) Win XP, all actual updates; PC is included in a workgroup, I don't have a domain structure! I want to test Oracle functions!

External User

CREATE USER ops$susi IDENTIFIED EXTERNALLY; GRANT CONNECT; RESOURCE TO OPS$SUSI;
(statements without error)

In the start up parameter-file OPS$ is default. Checked SELECT * FROM V$PARAMETER; I've created a Windows account susi with password protection before.

Switching to account susi and entering

sqlplus /

in DOS, I can't connect myself. I will be prompted to enter an user name and a password.
Same situation when entering this in DOS:

sqlplus /@xyz.

Entering sqlplus scott/tiger in DOS, no problems...

Question:

is this fudge worling when having a domain structure?

Please help me safe the weekend in good mood!
