Hello,
I have just installed my ORACLE 8i, on a server with the following characteristics Pentium III 800 Mhz, 512MB.
On the server when I execute the OraHome->Application Development->SQL plus tool, I get connected to the database.
The problem is to do with the client software.
I installed the Oracle client on a win95 PC (windows socket 2 installed), but when I performed the database connection testing I get the following error:
“ORA-12541: TNS, there is not listener”
I checkedthe service on my NT 4 server concerning TNS listener and I saw that it was up and running. I noticed that some oracle services were stopped so I started them hopping that this will solve the problem but it did not work!
Also, I checked whether ORACLE server can be pinged and I got replies….thus the network seems to work OK!
Please, If you have any idea what is going wrong, please help. I think something is going wrong with the server)
