How to solve net8 config problems?(n22)

Can someone recommend a config for a WintNT box for net8?  I am running
tcp but am lost in the world of service names, net service names, and
how to configure, local vs. host naming.

The network is win95 client, nt40 server.  I have tried using the Oracle
'easy' config and have no luck connecting from either a win95 client.
It says 'can't resolve name.'


Ans:

What is needed:
On the server:
sqlnet.ora, listener.ora, tnsnames.ora
a working listener.
On the client
sqlnet.ora, tnsnames.ora
Using tcp you need:
the hostname of the server as being used by DNS (the name of the system you
use when you PING it), or (unsupported?) the hardcoded ip address of the
server. Easycfg will allow you to enter that, Oracle network manager won't.
Then you need to specify a portnumber, usually either 1521 or 1526 (and
definitely not both), and the SID of the database.
Copy the tnsnames.ora and the sqlnet.ora to the client and this should be
all!
