Hi Bill,

I'll try your recommended setup. Funny though, I can use SQLDBA to STARTUP the oracle instance and CONNECT to Scott/Tiger for example. However if I try SQLPLUS or the GUI DATABASE Manager I get the ORA-03121 message. I can get the same message with SQLDBA if I CONNECT Scott/Tiger _at_foobar. The @foobar is resolved in ORACLE.INI using the SQLNET parameter. It's frustrating to be that close with no cigar. The faq I saw from MS showed a configuration using 16bit Developer/2000 and 32bit WIN95PO7. Looks like the 32 bit OS/2 PO7 works the same way. Thanks for the info. Maybe I can get some sleep tonight.
