   I have Oracle 9 running on a Linux RedHat Box V9.0.   
      
   But I'm having trouble connecting from a windows machine via PL/SQL   
   Develover. When I startup the application the instance name appears but when   
   I try to login as sysdba I get the error.   
      
   ORA-12545 Connection failed because target host or object does not exist.   
      
   I'm guessing that there's something net8 I have to setup. This is a new   
   installation. Can someone point me in the right direction?
