I just uninstalled an older Oracle installation on my computer (which was working fine) and installed a new one, and the new installation can't seem to find the TNSNAMES.ORA file even though it is in the \network\admin folder of the same installation directory as \bin\sqlplus.exe - and SQLPlus works if I connect by entering the IP and SID directly.
Is there some setting that I am missing that points to TNSNAMES.ORA? I always thought it looked in \network\admin by default.
