[Quoted] Hello all. I just installed the full Oracle 10g developer tools on a PC [Quoted] running Win XP Pro. I had 9.2 client on it before and it worked fine.

The installation was successful and I then ran the net configuration assistant. The connection test was successful. However, when I try to connect using SQLPlus or forms developer I get the "could not resolve service name" error.

Here's the config:

-Win XP Pro
-Oracle 10g full developer tools install
-IP address 192.168.0.202

TNSNAMES.ORA:
# TNSNAMES.ORA Network Configuration File: c:\oracle\ora10g\NETWORK\ADMIN\tnsnames.ora # Generated by Oracle configuration tools.

DB1 =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.0.250)(PORT = 1521))     )
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVICE_NAME = db1.mcbill)
    )
  )

EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = HOSTNAME)(PORT = 1521))     )
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SID = PLSExtProc)
    )

The database I am attempting to connect to is a 9.2.0.5 database on a VMS server. Here is the server info:

-IP address: 192.168.0.250
-Oracle 9.2.0.5
-Global name: db1.mcbill
-port: 1521

I also installed Toad 8.0 and it connects fine. Any ideas?

Thank you.
