The following works from the command prompt and returns OK
{{{
tnsping dsa22
}}}

The following works and i can connect to the database only if i am in the $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin directory

{{{
sqlplus user/pass@dsa22 (if run from $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin)
}}}

The following does not work if i am outside of $ORACLE_HOME/netowrk/admin
{{{
sqlplus user/pass@dsa22
}}}

The database is installed on a Unix box the client is on an NT box. The above commands fail on the client. The work fine if i try them on another client.
I think it is not picking up $ORACLE_HOME but this is configured in the registry so i dont know why its not picking it up.

There is no other oracle home on the client

Thanks
