Hi,
I can not solve this simple Problem:
I have two NT-Stations, the first is running the Oracle 7 Server the other has Oracle8. TCP/IP Net and Only the TCP/IP Protokoll in Sql-Net. On each Machine there is only one Instance.

I try to connect to my Oracle 7.3 Server from the Machine where Oracle 8.0x is running using ServerManger :

connect username/password_at_TnsnameOftheOracle7Server I get the message:

ORA-12505 The listener could not resolve SID given in connect description.

When I connect to Oracle8 form the local Machine where the Oracle8 Server runs, over
Sql-Net, with
connect username/password_at_TnsnameOftheLocalServer it works.

The tns entry seams correct because I can get the connection when I use the same connect string from an application ( Java)

Can anybody help me
