Re: After installing Oracle 8.1.5 client, i can't access Oracle Server through SQL*Plus

I installed Oracle Server 8.1.5 on Windows NT, and installed Oracle Client on Windows 95. I use database authentiaction. I copied tnsnames.ora form a working client machine to the client that doesn't work, it's still have the same problem. My tnsnames.ora is :
COSGITI1.LSIL.COM =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = cosgiti1)(PORT = 1521))     )
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVICE_NAME = cosgiti1.lsilogic)     )
  )

Thank you for your help.
