 I installed SQLNet from the easy configuration to be able to access PO7 on my desktop machine.

My TNSNAMES.ORA file now contains the following entry: GregStock.world =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =

        (ADDRESS = 


          (COMMUNITY = tcp.world)

          (PROTOCOL = TCP)

          (Host = Greg)

          (Port = 1521)

        )
        (ADDRESS = 


          (COMMUNITY = tcp.world)

          (PROTOCOL = TCP)

          (Host = Greg)

          (Port = 1526)

        )

    )
    (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = 2:)
    )
  )

Then I tried the following as shown in the SQLNet documentation: C:\>tnsping GregStock

I got the following:

TNS Ping Utility for WINDOWS 32: Version 2.2.2.0.0 - Production on 14-JAN-98 23:
45:43

Copyright (c) Oracle Corporation 1995. All rights reserved.

Attempting to contact
(ADDRESS=(COMMUNITY=tcp.world)(PROTOCOL=TCP)(Host=Greg)(Port=1521)) TNS-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist

Can you explain to me what is going wrong?
