Having error from windows 11gR2 client to database server:

sqlnet.ora:


SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NTS)

NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES, EZCONNECT)

tnsnames.ora:

TASK=
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS=
(PROTOCOL=TCP)
(HOST=task1.domain.net)
(PORT=1521)
)
(CONNECT_DATA=
(SERVER=dedicated)
(SERVICE_NAME=task.domain.net)
)
)

Tnsping error:

TNS Ping Utility for 32-bit Windows: Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production on 31-JAN-2

TNS-03505: Failed to resolve name


Sqlplus error:

ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified

Location of sqlnet.ora is correct to which would mean that path is correct in environment variable.

Windows server is 64-bit but application need 32-bit client. so I have used 32 bit client. I am just not able to tnsping and use sqlplus to connect to that database.
