Mark,

Thanks for your helps. "Remotely" is connecting from a client workstation to my Oracle Server(5 users edition) on a network. I can connect to my Oracle server now. However, it ONLY works if i use NT workstation which has Oracle client install on it. In other words, I cannot connect using a win95 or win98 workstation. Are there other solutions for this problem beside using NT workstation as my client workstation?

Thanks.

>Define remotely. Are you talking about accessing it from a workstation connected to the network? You need to run the Oracle Net8 Easy Config. There will probably already be an SPX or TCP/IP entry there that you can modify. Step through the wizard, but do not change any parameters. The last form will give you the SID name, which should be ORCL.
