TNS Name Resolution Error

Hi -

I've just moved to a new machine (now WinXP pro) and can't get client applications to connect to any of our oracle servers.

I've copied the TNSNAMES.ORA director, configured the client applications as I did on the old machine, yet whenever I try and connect using PLSQLDeveloper or our bespoke client applications I get:

"ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name"

What else could cause this problem? The other devs here have had a look and can't see the problem. Run out of ideas, please help!

S/w versions as follows:
1. Oracle 10g (app srv and rdbms afaik)
2. PLSQLDev v6.0.6.947
3. .NET v1.1 sp1 (studio 2003)
4. WinXP Pro sp2

Cheers,

Rex.
 
Sorry - Forget it. We found the problem:

In the sqlnet.ora config, 10g's installation put the following line....

NAMES.DEFAULT_DOMAIN =

...Soon as I took that line out everything worked fine.
