You might be editing the wrong tnsnames.ora. I have Webdb and 8i installed on a single nt workstation, and I have two tnsnames.ora files:

	e:\oracle\ora81\network\admin\tnsnames.ora -- Oracle 8i
	e:\oracle\webdb\net80\admin\tnsnames.ora -- Webdb

It's the SECOND file, the one under the WebDB home, that needs the webdb entry.
