problem connecting to a 9i db with a 10g client

[jayjabour]

I have a 9i database and I am trying to connect with a 10g client and am not able to. When I launch sqlplus and try to log in I get an ORA12154: TNS could not resolve the connect identifier specified. when I go through the Local Net Service naming configuration wizard to set the service name I test them and the test succeeds. but then when I try to log in with sqlplus I get the error. Any advice?

Yes dear....u have to copy the updated tnsnames.ora to all the OracleHOmes directory under the network/admin forder your
sqlplus is not pointing to the right home, i guess.

I only have 1 oracle home. and the tnsnames.ora file is in the orahome\network\admin directory.
