Re: need help with net8!

Hello Kent,

  Here are the basic steps:

1. Login to the server that needs access to oracle
2. try to issue "tnsping <db_name>"
3. If tnsping fails - post results to the group
4. If tnsping works, try to access database using sqlplus <user>/<pwd>@db_name
5. If sqlplus fails, post results to the group for further checkups
