I am required by my employer to install RAS on my Windows PC for support purposes. I also run linux/oracle 8.0.5 at home for OCP studyiing on a separate PC into which I telnet via ethernet. I installed the 7.3.4 client software on the home PC, and can connect to the database in the office just fine, after configuring tnsnames. I can ping my linux box as well as the server at the office, so I added the designation for that to tnsnames, but I can't connect I get the following error. Below that is my tnsnames. Is there something special I have to do connect to v. 8 database with 7 client tools?
