Could I be the ONLY one in the world trying to do this? (I hope not).

I want to connect to a remote machine over ssh using Putty. This is the only way I can communicate with the machine).

The remote machine is setup as follows:
Listener IS RUNNING:
Port 1521

Local Machine:
hosts file --> 127.0.0.1 <remotemachinename>

Putty Configuration:
Listen: 1500
Pass to: <remotemachineIPaddress>:1521

tnsping WORKS!!!!

Connection to remote database does NOT...

Yes - the local TNSNAMES file points to 1500 -- the tnsping would not work without that.

ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS!?!?!?! I am running Oracle 9i.

Please e-mail me directly if possible:
