Re: SQL*NET2 over SLIP Problem

Most of the time if you get a message which states it cannot find a message it is because the Oracle Home is not pointing to the right place. Look in your Oracle.inile to ensure that the ORACLE_HOME is pointed to the correct place. Also I have had good luck using SQL*NET via SLIP whil using the 'shareware' product TRUMPET. It is at mirrors.aol.com under /pub/cica/pc/win2/winsock it is called twsk20b.zip.
