Hello,

I'm using a P133 running NT Workstation to install Oracle8 on a shared drive. The drive is actually on a Win95 PC on my local network at home
(TCP/IP ONLY). The installation process works fine but i'm getting
errors trying to access the database from *any* Oracle program on the P133. I'm trying to use the processing power of the P133 to execute Oracle and the Win95 machine for the gig drives storage.

The error is a 'TNS' error and i'm having problems getting some of the services to start. Some Oracle services are started and others give me a 'TNS' affiliated message. Oh, I get a windows error about the service attempting to access memory at some location and it's unable to (No, my memory is fine. That's not the problem).

Oracle8 is executed from the P133, which actually retrieves *all* data
(goes for services, etc.) and attempts to start up a database instance
through the shared network drive.

Any help is deeply appreciated. Please reply to the newsgroups and my email as well.

Thanks
