Rahul,
It seems to me that you are having a problem reading the proper TNSNAMES.ORA for
the different DBs.  What I would do in your situation is to search for all
TNSNAMES.ORA files in your PC, since you have products installed in more than
one home and more than one version you should have multiple.  Edit them and see
which ones contain the entries that you need, in one or more of them some
entries will be missing, what you can do is copy/paste the missing entries, once
you have the file you want then copy it to all the different "Homes" and you
should be able to connect to the different DB's.

Hope it helps.
