Oracle Instant client

DBA_1976Jan 23 2008 — edited Jan 23 2008

Hi all,
I have installed oracle instant client. How to check whether I have installed correctly or not?
When I started the sqlplus.exe, it asked for username and password. But I don't have tnsnames.ora file. Do I have to manually create a tnsnames.ora file?
If so is there any particular directory that I have to create it?

I have installed the basic and sqlplus packages for 10g instant client in a directory C:\Oracle\instantclient_10_2

Please help. How do I check connections to Oracle database in a different server?
