Re: SQLNET 32 and 16 bit config files on Lan ??

I figured it out myself.

For 16 bit sqlnet: add a line to \orawin\oracle.ini "TNS_ADMIN={x:\network\admin}
  where x is the mapped lan drive and the directory where sqlnet.ora and tnsnames.ora are stored.

For 32 bit sqlnet: add a variable to the SYSTEM settings under Control Panel in Windows NT 4.0. with "TNS_ADMIN={x:\network\admin}" where x is the mapped lan drive and the directory where sqlnet.ora and tnsnames.ora are stored.

You can use one copy of sqlnet.ora and tnsnames.ora by pointing them both to the same drive/directory on the LAN.

If anybody has a better way, please let me know.
