I found a 92 home but it looks not live.

Most importantly I am local to the box, running sqlplus and svrmgrl right there and it wont work.

Too weird that it comes up with protocol adapter error right away.

I am afraid the install done long ago has hosed registry info, but the HR gals are having no problems connecting thru 3rd party equity edge.

At some level it works, until backups clobber it and has to be restarted. Cant believe I cant get in.
