Linux instant client tnsnames file

436934Jan 23 2005 — edited Jan 24 2005
My db is on a windows box (don't ask why, please), I'm trying to connect to it from a RH9.0 machine with the Linux InstantClient SQLPLUS. I keep getting:
"ORA-12162: TNS:net service name is incorrectly specified"
I do have a TNS_ADMIN set to my tnsnames file.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
