I have successfully installed Developer/2000 along with Oracle 8.03. The trick is simple. Installing Developer/2000 first. OR if you have installed Oracle 8.03, install Dev/2000 as you normally do and then re-install Net8 from Oracle 8.x. SQL*Net does NOT support Oracle 8.x. Net8 however is backward compatable.
