Hi:

I found the problem. The problem was that I did not specify env TNS_ADMIN in my .profile so oracle would look at

/var/opt/oracle directory first, which happen to have some old sqlnet.ora
and tnsnames.ora.

After I added the correct TNS_ADMIN in my .profile all works fine now.

Guang,

Try using full tnsname NPD.INCYTE.COM when tnsping'ing.=20 Does that work for you?

Subject: 9i client tnsping error

Hi:

I have just installed oracle client 9.2.0.1.0 on one unix box (called curly), and I am trying to connect to an oracle 8173 server (on another unix
box, called rex). During the installastion, the net service part had test
successful and it installed sqlnet.ora and tnsnames.ora automatically.

The files are those:

curly$ cat sqlnet.ora
# SQLNET.ORA Network Configuration File:
/oracle/product/9.2.0.1.0/network/admin/sqlnet.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.

NAMES.DEFAULT_DOMAIN =3D incyte.com

NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH=3D (TNSNAMES, ONAMES, HOSTNAME) curly$ cat tnsnames.ora
# TNSNAMES.ORA Network Configuration File:
/oracle/product/9.2.0.1.0/network/admin/tnsnames.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.

NPD.INCYTE.COM =3D
  (DESCRIPTION =3D
    (ADDRESS_LIST =3D
      (ADDRESS =3D (PROTOCOL =3D TCP)(HOST =3D rex)(PORT =3D 1521))     )
    (CONNECT_DATA =3D
      (SERVICE_NAME =3D NPD)
    )
  )

ping is working ok,

but tnsping is not working:

curly$ tnsping NPD
