I think if you follow the steps you can connect --
1. First check whehter TCP/IP has been installed and
you can connect using the protocol. You can do this
using simple command like ping. So on the DOS command
prompt type following--
ping 127.0.0.1 and enter.
This will give you a series of messages and in the end
OK. If you get OK in the end that means TCP/IP is
properly working.
2. Then configure the tnsnames.ora for the database sid you have
chosen. You can do it through SQL Net Easy configuration.
Configure it for TCP/IP and remember the sid name e.g. ORCL.
3. Go to DOS prompt and change the directory to your
ORACLE_HOME. Start the database giving command
svrmgr30 (enter)
4. It will give you prompt as SVRMGR. Type follwing
connect internal; (enter)
It should show message as connected. Then quit out of server
manager.
5. You are now again on to DOS prompt. Type the following
lsnrctl80 start (enter)
It will give the message as Listener Started Successfully.
6. Now minimize the Dos window and start Forms application.
While connecting type username, password and database name also.
e.g. scott, tiger, ORCL.
It should get connected. Because I followed the same procedure
and now I am working suceessfully on it.
