I have installed Personal Oracle 7.2 on Windows 98. When I have tried to start listener from DOS window I have got following error:
TNS-12547: TNS: lost contact
TNS-12560: TNS: protocol adapter error
TNS-00517 Lost contact
32-bit Windows error: 50: Unknown system error
I was trying to start listener in order to establish connection from Forms 5 application from another PC under Windows 95.
Is it possible to connect from another PC in network to Personal Oracle 7.2 on Windows 98?

Well there text of these errors messages is:
==========================
Problem Description:
====================
Your system has been working for some time and then had a power
shut down. When you brought the system up the Oracle database came up no
problem. However, you cannot start the listener. The following errors accrued:
TNS-12547
12547, 00000, "TNS:lost contact"
Cause: Partner has unexpectedly gone away, usually during process
startup.
Action: Investigate partner application for abnormal termination.
On an Interchange, this can happen if the machine is overloaded.
TNS-12560
12560, 00000, "TNS:protocol adapter error"
Cause: A generic protocol adapter error occurred.
Action: Check addresses used for proper protocol specification. Before
reporting this error, look at the error stack and check for lower
level transport errors.For further details, turn on tracing and
reexecute the operation. Turn off tracing when the operation is
complete.
TNS-00517
00517, 00000, "Lost contact"
Cause: Partner has unexpectedly gone away.
Action: Investigate partner application for abnormal termination.
Search words: sqlnet, relink
Solution Description:
=====================
To fix the problem, relink SQL*Net:
1. Go to the $ORACLE_HOME/network/lib directory
2. Run:
Make -f network.mk install
Or, for RDBMS 7.3.3 and above, run:
make -f ins_network.mk install
==========================
Well personal oracle was never ment to do what you are trying to do -- it was really ment as a one user product.
The second issue, 7.2 is a very very old version and way out of support.
My Suggestion, I would download a later version of the database (at least version 8.0.6) and give it a try...
