I have a similar problem. I have an Oracle database and WebDB
installed on one computer (running Windows 2000 Professional) and I'm
trying to accesss it from a client machine running Window 98. I can
acess files via the LAN, but can't get to the WebDB. I've checked and
rechecked the TC/ICPsettings. I have another Webserver (Apache) on the
Windows 2000 workstation that works fine (I can see it on the client
machine). The WebDB listener folder is even visible from the client
workstation, but I can't connect to it using the (IE) web browser. I
think this is more of a networking than a Oracle problem, but it is
driving me nuts.
