Question: Are you and your server on opposite sides of a firewall? When
tnsping works, but sqlplus doesn't, usually the problem occurs after
you've successfully carried out a handshake with the listener (which is
all tnsping really does). The "conversation" with sqlplus takes place on
a randomly-chosen port (not 1521).
