If you want to connect to a remote Oracle DB you need NET8 to do so.

The latest good news is sqlplus no longer crashes - I actually get a
password prompt, so I am much closer than before. Thanks for all the
hints.
I do still have a problem, though. I am getting ORA-012560 -
TNS:protocol adaptor error
>From my experience on UNIX, I had a registry entry TNS_ADMIN which
contained the path of tnsnames.ora. I don't see any registry or NT
environment variables on the server or client which performs the same
function. I've added both and re-tried but I still receive the same
message.
I don't have Oracle installed on my client. Do I need to have NET8
installed locally? Remember I can run sqlplus from the cmd prompt and
sqlplusw from a shortcut mapped to the server without any problems.
Thanks again for all the help.
