While chasing down a problem with a db link, I ran across this bit of
strangeness. Our temp hired gun -- who is far better than me -- can't
explain it either, beyond a vague comment about differences in
Windows....
I've solved my orginal problem, but this bit leaves me with unanswered
questions. Here is a short, concise demo, copied straight from the
command window. Only the userid and password have been masked. Nothing
else has been cut or ortherwise edited.

FWIW, here's the TNSNAMES entry, witht the IP masked.
EPSPD =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.xxx.xxx.xxx)(PORT = 1521))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = EPSPD)
)
)
My expectation is that if TNSPING fails, so should an actual connection
attempt from the same envrionment.
Are you running the tnsping and sqlplus from the same machine ( server
) as the database instance is on or from a different machine? Are
there differences in the domain name suffixes if applicable?
What was "the original problem" that you fixed but don't mention in
this posting?
Static IP address for the server?
Did you check if patchset for 10.2 is available in for 2003 server?
Did you start the listener before the database instance came up?
What output does a lsnrctl service show you?
What does your listener.ora look like? How about sqlnet.ora?
What tracing options have you used for tnsping?
Have fun and remember you can always submit the output from a tnsping
trace if you wish to oracle support for assistance.
Personally, I haven't found a lot ( ok any ) circumstances where
tnsping has helped me. I would recommend always using a "real" client
connection such as what sqlplus does but I realize other people do
sometimes want to use tnsping.
