I am not sure if this is a bug or if I am doing something,
wrong.  Here is the email that I previously sent to the
email list:

I am banging my head against the wall on this one.  How do I need to set
the environmental variables to connect to a remote Oracle machine? Note
that the actual machine is behind a firewall, but I have a static IP route
to it.

I have already tried:

PutEnv("ORACLE_HOME=/db/oracle7/");
PutEnv("ORACLE_SID=WG73"); 
PutEnv("WGSHOST=dbmachine.foo.com");

and:

PutEnv("ORACLE_HOME=/db/oracle7/");
PutEnv("ORACLE_SID=WG73@dbmachine.foo.com");

and:

PutEnv("ORACLE_HOME=/db/oracle7/");
PutEnv("ORACLE_SID=WG73_tcp_dbmachine.foo.com");

and:

PutEnv("ORACLE_HOME=/db/oracle7/");
PutEnv("ORACLE_SID=WG73_tcp@dbmachine.foo.com");


but none seem to work.
