Mac network settings

[teser]

Anyone know what or how you set up your network settings for connecting to a server.
The Powermac with 8.6 OS is getting an error message trying to connect to an Oracle database. The error message is 'ora-3539'. Please advise on what kind of network settings I can check.

PROBLEM: I get an ORA-03539 or ORA-03520 or ORA-06401
1. Make sure your "ORACLE Settings" file is at the top-level of the System Folder, not in the "Extensions" folder.
2. Make sure your Oracle Home is set correctly. You do this by running either the "Set Oracle Home" or "ORACLE Installer" applications. When setting the home folder, open the Oracle folder and click on the "Set Home" or "This is the Oracle Home Folder" buttons. You know you have opened up the right folder when the folders listed in the box are folders like "Database", "Drivers", "Applications", etc.
3. Also make sure the "net_tcp" file is in the "Drivers" folder. If it is not, then see INSTALLING SQL*NET.
4. Use the t:ipaddress:SID syntax, don't use an alias or hosts file until you get it working. Remember that the "@" symbol is not needed if you are using OracleCard or HyperCard! The one thing you can't give for your heart's desire is your heart. - Lois McMaster Bujold

jimbopalmer,

Yes this is one of those "old" Oracle Card set ups. The network connection was okay and working fine until he upgraded from a Centris to a Powermac. As far as I know he just copied all data from one to the other and is now getting the 'ora-3539' error.
