I am trying to configure my NT clients so they can run old SQL*FORMS and reports connecting to an Oracle 8i database over TCP/IP. I have done it using DECNet to Oracle 7 but now I must connect to an NT Oracle 8i server which listens on TCP.
Anyone know anything about SQL*NET to Net8 connection setup? Or NT client SQL*NET setup?
I know a large part of my problem is my connect string in my config.ora file. I am of course used to DECNet connect strings! I recieve the unknown host code when I try and connect despite setting the hostname in the lmhosts file.
When I specify the IP instead of the host I am told orasrv is not set up in my services file, however it is!!
