Re: Net8: connect from remote client but not local client

When this happens to me, it's usually because I don't have the same TNSNAMES file on the server as on the client. That's for my NT servers. However, I currently manage an HP Unix box that exhibits this behavior, and the TNSNAMES files are correct. I havn't had time to figure out that problem yet.
