sqlplus foo/bar@baz works; connect foo/bar@baz doesn't

Hi

I have this weird problem on W2K: If I open a cmd box and type
sqlplus foo/bar_at_baz, I can connect to baz as foo, as expected. But if I do a
connect foo/bar_at_baz
in the (same) sqlplus prompt I get an ORA-12154 error (german: TNS: Der Service Name konnte nicht aufgeloest werden, english translation would be something like TNS: could not resolve service name)

SQLPLUS is 9.0.1.0.1 for Windows, while
the DB Server is 8i on HP.

What can cause this?
