Take a look at the tnsnames.ora file that should be located in the <oracle home>\network\admin directory. In that file there is a list of what I think are services (that might not be the correct name) that desribe the different instances that you have access to. One of the entries should be the connect_string you are looking for. Below is one entry from my tnsnames.ora. To connect as scott for this instance I would use the following: user=scott, pwd=tiger, connect_string=beq-local.
Beq-Local.world =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS =
(COMMUNITY = beq.world)
(PROTOCOL = BEQ)
(PROGRAM = oracle73)
(ARGV0 = oracle73ORCL)
(ARGS = '(DESCRIPTION=(LOCAL=YES)(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=beq)))')
)
)
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = ORCL)
)
)
Hope this helps.
