Not sure why you are having difficulty with Easy Config at home. Have you tried just taking your TNSNAMES.ORA file from work, and copying it onto your home PC? That's what I did, and it works just fine. I never use Easy Config. I think it's a misnamed product<g>.

BTW, at work I connect via TCP/IP. When I dial in from home, I do as you do, and establish a PPP connection. In both cases the connection is via tcp/ip, and that's why the same tnsnames.ora file works in both places.
