Hi,

Sorry, this is the correct one

c:\> tnsping ora9

Used TNSNAMES adapter to resolve the alias
Attempting to contact (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST = NTSERV1)(PORT = 1521)))(CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = ora9))) OK (50 msec)


I think no error here?....

Does server domain affect the service name like NTSERV1.DOMAIN.COM
and service name ORA9.DOMAIN.COM.

I'm really confused on what is the right way of naming service name.
