hi folks,

I am having a tough time understanding Naming methods;

Practically i could try only local naming on my network with win2000 and win98 as client.

I am not able to understand rest of the naming methods and
also i don't know how to practically test the directory naming and oracle naming methods.

I am having following doubts,

1. Does one should have good knowledge of networking
concetps ?

2. Does one should have good knowledge of setting
directory services, to understand these methods ?
If so, how to start with.

3. Is there any good tutorial which explain these things in a
simplified manner ?(Other than Oracle Documentation)

4. Is it practically possible to test Directory naming and
Oracle naming methods on simple network.( I have my
oracle server running on windows200 Advanced server
and clients on win98). Do i need any other softwares for
setting up a directory service ?

Could anybody help me out in this regard.

Regards
Sonia
