Please read chapters 4 thru 11 at
http://download-west.oracle.com/otndoc/oracle9i/901_doc/network.901/a90155/part2.htm.
This will provide you better understanding of Oracle's complete
networking parameters. (Recommended).
However, if you are *only* looking for a quick solution, then change myDB.domainBeta to myDB.domainAlpha in your client's ORACLE_HOME\network\admin\tnsnames.ora file and then connect as myDB.domainAlpha.
