In reply to d_kisore, did you refer the oracle installation manual! which is on line for free or the README. I would suggest that you read the Installation manual, before you proceed with the installation. Pl. don't take it wrong, this is what I do mostly :)

Hrishy, that was one good job.

Now, on coming to athanasius question, set your ORACLE_SID to the instance that you want to connect to and then try connecting through the server manager. That should fix. BTW, from when on the linux started to give a C:\. I thought that Bill had bought the linux :D

Any how guys , please fell free to cuss me :D and continue to post your questions. Hey! I'm still learning ;)
