    Hi All,
    I have configured Oracle8i client on my NT machine. The server is located at a different IP Address. So I started configuring my Oracle Client.Here are the steps that I followed configuring it.
    1. I opened Net8 configuration Assistant. Choose Local Net Service Name.
    2.selected Add option.
    3.It asked for version of Oracle or service: I choose
    Oracle8 release 8.0 or oracle7 database or service
    4.Next it promped for SID I entered APPS.
    5.Next it asked for n/w protocol and I selected TCP/IP.
    6.next prompt was for hostname. I entered the IP Address of server with port defaulting to 1521.
    7.next I tested the connection and it said "connecting...test Successful"
    8.next it prompted for an Net service Name and I entered -jaya.
    So this way my net configuring was complete and connection was successfully tested. All the entries were put up correctly in tnsnames.ora.
    But when I open SQL* Plus and enter the same userid, password and hoststring as jaya I am getting the error :
    ORA-12154 TNS : couldnot resolve service name.

    Please help me.
