Have you tried using sqlplus w/o using the tnsfile?

From cmd prompt:
Sqlplus
username/pass@(description=(address=(host=localhost)(port=1521)(protocol=tcp
))(connect_data=(service_name=bjork4)))

If this method doesn't work, then TNS is not the issue.

Subject: windows question

windows server 2000
oracle 8.1.7.4

onr local DNS doesn't seem to resolve some host names, so i changed
the stanzas in tnsnames.ora to use the IP numbers.  this works fine on
my XP workstation and i can tnsping and/or sign on with no problems.
but on the server it still won't resolve the the service name.  the
sqlnet.ora file  has names.directory_path (tnsnames)

so what did i break *this* time?  what am i missing?
