Subject: 9i client tnsping error

Hi:

I have just installed oracle client 9.2.0.1.0 on one unix box (called curly), and I am trying to connect to an oracle 8173 server (on another unix
box, called rex). During the installastion, the net service part had test
successful and it installed sqlnet.ora and tnsnames.ora automatically.

The files are those:

curly$ cat sqlnet.ora
# SQLNET.ORA Network Configuration File:
/oracle/product/9.2.0.1.0/network/admin/sqlnet.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.

NAMES.DEFAULT_DOMAIN =3D incyte.com

NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH=3D (TNSNAMES, ONAMES, HOSTNAME) curly$ cat tnsnames.ora
# TNSNAMES.ORA Network Configuration File:
/oracle/product/9.2.0.1.0/network/admin/tnsnames.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.

NPD.INCYTE.COM =3D
  (DESCRIPTION =3D
    (ADDRESS_LIST =3D
      (ADDRESS =3D (PROTOCOL =3D TCP)(HOST =3D rex)(PORT =3D 1521))     )
    (CONNECT_DATA =3D
      (SERVICE_NAME =3D NPD)
    )
  )

ping is working ok,

but tnsping is not working:

curly$ tnsping NPD
