need help with net8!

[Kent]

Hi, all
I am trying to access my locally installed oracle database from ASP.NET
that's running on my IIS server.
However I get this component missing exception. I know it has something to
do with net8 and I am confident that it has been installed. I also know that
I need to reconfigure tnsnames.ora file but I have no clue how. Can anyone
help me?
Is there any other file I need to reconfigure? If you can help, would you
please reply with how you would configure it?

my database name is orange, with the domain name as jiewei

THANKS a BUNCH!

Hello Kent,

Here are the basic steps:

1. Login to the server that needs access to oracle

2. try to issue "tnsping <db_name>"

3. If tnsping fails - post results to the group

4. If tnsping works, try to access database using sqlplus
<user>/<pwd>@db_name

5. If sqlplus fails, post results to the group for further checkups
