DJ,
I think U just beat me up in 4 mins....
If you are not familiar with the terms, use the Net8 Configuration Assistant instead.

1 Start - Program --> Oracle Home --> Network Administration -->Net8 Configuration Assistant
2. Select "Local Net Service Name Configuration" --> Next
3 Select Add and click Next
4. SElect " Oracle8 release 8.0 or Oracle7.0 database or service
5. enter your database SID. Ask if you dont know what it is
6. select TCP ...
7. Enter database server hostname or IP and use standard port 1521 (change if listener uses another port)
8. Perform the test. By default it use scott/tiger and you change the user/pass if needed

Remember that when it ask you for the HOST when launching sqlplus, it is the connection string that you enter in the fifth step above
