How to connect internal to NT instance from SQLPLUS on Unix

[HenryMonster]

Hi All,

Is there any way to

CONNECT INTERNAL

to an Oracle 8.1.6 instance running on NT from
the sqlplus utility running on a Unix box.

Thank you in advance,

Absolutely. As a general rule and computer with Oracle software installed can connect to any Oracle database on a remote machine. The o/s of the respective machines is irrelavant.

Basically you need to configure net8 with the ip address, port and sid of the NT database you want to connect to. Oracle will handle the rest.

There may also be firewall security issues, but that's another story.
