Hi naigi,
I can see all the drives and directories from my 2000 server in my 
client machine including the drive in which oracle is installed so 
I suppose there is no problem in networking.  I ping the ip and 
not the server name.  I haven't yet tried to ping by the name of 
the server.  I just however still want to know if a domain is 
really needed for the server to serve the database.
Thanks.
