I Hope i phrase this question to where it will make sense.
My company recently purchased Oracle 8i (er 8.1.7) and loaded it onto a new Sun Solaris box. The access to this box from a stand alone PC can be accessed through a mapped drive we have created (called S:\). It is through this network drive that we talk to this box.
We then loaded Oracle 8i locally onto a separate PC and we are trying to connect to that network drive using SQL Plus but find that the connection always refers to the TNSNAMES.ORA settings we have in place on the local drive.
We've even tried to manipulate the settings through 'regedit' but it didn't work out.
Has anyone experienced this or know how we can connect to a network drive (via SQL Plus) from a stand alone PC?
Thanks to anyone who responds,
Claude Johnson
