Hints:
- can you connect using the correct sql*plus version?
(The one that came with the database?)
- is the database up-and-running? can you 'connect internal'
using svrmgrl? If so, what is the response (idle instance is bad)
- and he answer about sqlnet's network vs. net80 is valid: Dev6i
is a 8.0 tool, and uses net80.
