RE: Domain or work group

1. Are you able to ping the oracle server from your client?
2. If you can ping the IP but not the name, then setup a HOSTS file
3. Can you ping the database?  Telnet to the database server and specify
the database listener port as your port.  No response indicates your
listener is offline or a firewall is blocking it.

Subject: [oracle] Domain or work group

Hello all,
I am still in a problem regarding oracle client.  Finally I 
managed to grap the 3 cds for oracle 9i entp.  I have a windows 
2000 advanced server on which I have installed the oracle database 
enterprise version.  I have a windows 2000 pro and windows 98 
machine on the network.  all these machines including the windows 
2000 server are on a work group.  I am trying to install the 
oracle client on the other two machines and trying to access the 
oracle database on the windows 2000 server.  However the 
connection does not success.  What is the problem.  Is it required 
that the server be on a domain only.  Is it not connecting because 
my 2000 server containing the oracle database is on a work group 
with the other 2 pcs?
Please let me know.  By the way I did all the steps and it just 
goes fine with the steps only when I try to connect it gives me an 
error message.
Thanks,
Krishnakant.
