Issuing the command

                   oerr ora 2729 gives
================================================================================
ian_at_tethys $ oerr ora 2729

02729, 00000, "osncon: driver not in osntab" // *Cause: The driver you have specified is not supported. // *Action: Check with your database administrator which drivers are supported.



Your sqlplus command should look similar to

               sqlplus username/password_at_t:node:sid:

Where "t" is the driver. In this case tcp. Note you set the TWO_TASK environment variable to

                       t:node:sid:

After that you need only tpye

               sqlplus username/password

to make the connection.
