There's no such error. At least, I've never seen it. How much would it cost if you posted complete SQL*Plus session so that we could see what has happened?

Have you defined a 'tns_admin' environment variable?

So, what error did you get? Pasting SQL*Plus session would help better than your "TNS Listner" description (which is useless).

Anyway: having TNS_ADMIN set is half a job; another half means that this TNSNAMES.ORA file should contain aliases to both databases (10gR2 and XE).
