Using SQL*PLUS in a Terminal Session

I have a development server that I am building. We are running Oracle 8i and we need to be able to put this machine in our data center and administer it remotely. I have Terminal services running on it and remote admin is working out in all aspects except with Oracle. When I attempt to log into my DB with SQL*PLUS I get a TNS error (tns protocol adapter error)... From what I have been reading it appears as though you can't log in using SQL*PLUS through a terminal session.

This simply is not acceptable to me. Isn't there a config in tnsnames.ora that can be made to accomodate this relationship?

I really need a decent work-around....I need to be able to use SQL*PLUS remotely.

Thanks

Please find the following statement in tnsnames.ora file then copy paste it and make the required information as mentioned in example. The following code will connect to MYDB database installed onto server (10.07.07.88), all request will be listen on port 1521.

MYDB.WORLD =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.07.07.88)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = MYDB))
)

Thanks alot, I appreciate it. I have done that and provided the correct connection string to SQL*PLUS and it works now.

Thanks
