How many TNSNAMES.ORA files do you have on your computer? If more than one, consider creating a TNS_ADMIN environment variable that will point to a single copy of the TNSNAMES.ORA, which also means that all tools you use to access an Oracle database will read the same information.

How many ORACLE_HOMEs do you have on your PC? Maybe using the Home selector on the Toad login screen you could pick the same one SQL*Plus is using?
