Re: Cant connect oracle 8 client to oracle7

Thank you very much Uwe Shneider for the tip. It worked in my case. I put disable_oob=true in sqlnet.ora file on linux and it started connecting to the oracle7 server on sco unix. I will be gratefull if you provide more information on your insights into deeper levels of net8. I am particularly interested to know what difference it made after putting this line in sqlnet.ora file. Again thanks a lot.
