Please read & follow posting guidelines as stated in URL above

What changed?

What is timestamp on sqlnet.ora file?

I suggest doing the following:

#SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)
or alternatively remove the line entirely from sqlnet.ora

You are pinging for tnsentry elvis , which seems to be working.
But, I do not see that in tnsnames.ora you have posted.
What am i missing?

comment the contents of sqlnet.ora and try again.

Thanks for the reply...

I updated my sqlnet.ora

# SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)

NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES, EZCONNECT)

===============================================

Now I get this error...


SQL*Plus: Release 10.1.0.2.0 - Production on Thu Jul 17 12:00:15 2008

Copyright (c) 1982, 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.

Enter password:
ERROR:
ORA-12505: TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in connect
descriptor

======================================================

What did that sqlnet.auth do? Do I need that for security??

sorry I posted from wrong tnsnames.ora file...


==============================
elvis = (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=7.7.1.1)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=orcl)))

============================
This is from my local tnsNames file..

Thanks
Phil
