use Net8 assit providid by oracle  then
As per I know
For example
Database name ora8i
                       port 1521
                    hostname 127.0.0.1  (this loopback address I don't know the
exact word for this Ip address)

then go to ms-dos prompt
cd c:\orawin988i\bin\lsnrctl start
then
start oracle
For you have to start listner first

Not very effective. You don't need a listener, set tnsnames to contain at least:
Beq-local.world =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
        (ADDRESS =
          (PROTOCOL = BEQ)
          (PROGRAM = oracle80)
          (ARGV0 = oracle80ORCL)
          (ARGS = '(DESCRIPTION=(LOCAL=YES)(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=beq)))')
        )
    )
    (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = ORCL)
    )
  )
 Also set automatic_ipc = ON in sqlnet.ora
