Lightning - Nothing happens

Im using standart lightning routines (red book) and my calculation of normals are completely right (tested). But when I turn on lightning (GL_FLAT or GL_SMOOTH, TEXTURED OR NOT) nothing changes. Whats the problem?

Lot of thanks.

try
glEnable(GL_COLOR_MATERIAL);
glColorMaterial(GL_FRONT,
GL_AMBIENT_AND_DIFFUSE);
this might help

but a little more code of what you have done so far might help also
