Oracle Linked Server

Hi,
I have an Oracle 9i client installed on SQL Server 2000, and I want to add a
linked Oracle server to SQL Server, I got an error says 'OLEDB error, OLEDB
error trace: initialize returned 0x80004005', and I can not view the tables
or views in the Oracle lin
ked server, can anybody help me on this?
HongHi
0x80004005 is usually a general error, have you checked the connection
string?

OLEDB Errors event. This should allow you to get more information
about the error.
