I'm not sure. You might check your SQLNET.ORA file. Does it
have an entry like this:



NAME.DEFAULT_ZONE = world



If the sqlnet.ora file on the NT box had a default zone of
world, I think you would have to have ".world" on all your
TNSNAMES entries. That's because SQL*Net appends to the
default zone to your service name before looking in
tnsnames.
