1) try again and record the errors OR
2) verify the listener is UP OR
3) try connecting locally instead of thru listener if you can

From windows SQL*Plus screen (not cmd) trying to connect to an 10 G
instance on a linux box

entered "shutdown abort" and the db shut down as expected
entered "startup" and got a TNS error (sorry did not record which one)
entered "connect /[Email Address Removed] as sysdba" and got a TNS error (sorry
did not record which one)
exited sql*plus gui and opened a cmd window on windows box
entered "sqlplus /[Email Address Removed] as sysdba" and got a TNS error (sorry did
not record which one)

basically I cannot get reconnected to an idle instance as I was
initially prior to the shutdown abort -- your help is appreciated.
