Developer is lagging back in sqlnet, it still uses
%ORACLE_HOME%\net80\admin.
You can resolve this in two different fashions
1 set up the registry var TNS_ADMIN to point to the network\admin dir
in your Oracle 8i home. In this case you can't use service_name =
syntax in tnsnames.ora as that is a 8i feature
2 copy the tnsnames.ora from 8i to net80\admin.
