Aaron, can you post the listener.ora and the tnsnames.ora file, or copy the
contents of the database you're trying to connect to... maybe we can help.
However, before you do this, in Windows 98 the Oracle instance does NOT
start automatically when you start your computer. So you might want to
start the database manuall, or create a .bat script in your Startup folder.
Try connecting to the database, through SQLPLUS as INTERNAL, and see if you
can get to it that way.
Otherwise, paste those two files. Good luck.
