Server: Oracle 10g / Linux SLES 9.2
WS: WinXP sp2, InstantClient 10.2.0.1

I can connect using the full Connection-String: (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = ... ) ) I've now installed the tnsnames.ora in c:\Windows:

ORACLEDYNDNS =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =

(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = company.dyndns.org)(PORT = 1521))

    )
(CONNECT_DATA =

      (SERVICE_NAME = orcl)
    )
  )

.. and put the following into the registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE]
"NLS_LANG"="GERMAN_GERMANY.WE8MSWIN1252" "TNS_ADMIN"="C:\\Windows"

But I can't connect with "ORACLEDYNDNS" to the Database.

Do you see my error?
