Re: Net8 configuration assistant hangs on redhat7.2

Thank you. netca works and let me define a listener.

I'm not sure of what my needs are yet! I'm learning. I do want the ability to connect to the database from other machines on the network to eventually do Oracle Forms, Reports, etc. I think I need more than the listener to do that. But at least I have a start.

Thanks again,

Tim
