Please help me,I donot know about TNS name,Host
name,Service name,Net Service name.So I could not
configure net configuration assistant properly.
But for just a stand alone system of mine why
should I bother it?
(This Windows Millenium Edition comes in which
category?Windows95,Windows98,Windows NT,16 BIT,
32 BIT?)

Would like to see the tnsnames.ora , listener.ora file and sqlnet.ora files? Have you checked the configuration yet?

Please see these files;

You haven't specified an SID in the tnsnames.ora file. What is the oracle_sid name you gave when you installed oracle. If you have selected typical installation, it would have configured it automatically. Are you sure installation is done properly? Also, try to give ip address instead of name for the Host field.
It should be some thing like this:
ANUJIDB.COM=
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 127.0.0.1)(PORT = 1521))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = ANUJIDB)
)
)
