Windows XP Pro & 9.2.0.1.0 on my Laptop, I have a local database on my laptop that I am having an issue with.
My XP userID is part of the Administrators & ORA_DBA group on the laptop; and part of my work Domain

I am able to login as sqlplus "/ as sysdba" when I am connected to the Domain.
BUT, when the laptop is not connected to the domain, I get the "insufficient privileges" error.

This is a new feature of XP: a user account on XP (which is part of a domain also) can connect to the machine when the machine is connected/and not connected to the domain. I think here is where the problem comes in.

Has anyone figured this one out ?
