    And here I thought SQL*Plus was a product from Oracle... I didn't realize TOAD and SQL*Plus were the exact same thing

    My point was, Toad has many more features then SQL*PLUS.

    ... while on the other hand SQL*Plus has some features that TOAD doesn't and will never have....

    Are you getting any errors ??

    Show us your TNSNAMES.ORA file

    Ip address,sid,global_name and port number of the listener of the 7.3.4.1 server.

    May be we can have a look into it.
