Urgent: ORA-12154 Error

Hi,

I'm trying to conenct to an Oracle 8.1.7 (on Solaris8) instance from another workstation on the LAN but get the "ORA-12154" error (cannot resolve SERVICE_NAME) I checked and double-checked the entries in listener.ora and tnsnames.ora in the respective
machines... everything appears ok... (I can connect using the @connect_String) from the
same machine the instance is on...

Also, I can succesfully "tnsping" the alias from the workstation... My database name is
nnsun (and global dbName is nnsun.WORLD)...

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
-Krishna.
