Re: Error: Ora12154-TNS:could not resolve service name

Make sure you changed Oracle Home to the 6i home and then use Net8 Easy Confiuguration utility (in the same menu as the home changing routine) to create a service name to connect to your remote host. If you have created the service name check the ORACLE_HOME\Net80\admin\tnsnames.ora to ensure that it has the entry in it and that the entry is xxxx.world (where xxxx is your sevice name) if it is xxxx.domain_name then you have to enter that exact string as the connect string. i.e. xxxx.domain_name

I hope this is of help
