Hi Jay,

What is needed:
On the server:
sqlnet.ora, listener.ora, tnsnames.ora
a working listener.
On the client
sqlnet.ora, tnsnames.ora
Using tcp you need:
the hostname of the server as being used by DNS (the name of the system you use when you PING it), or (unsupported?) the hardcoded ip address of the server. Easycfg will allow you to enter that, Oracle network manager won't. Then you need to specify a portnumber, usually either 1521 or 1526 (and definitely not both), and the SID of the database. Copy the tnsnames.ora and the sqlnet.ora to the client and this should be all!

Hth,

Sybrand Bakker, Oracle DBA
