trouble with Oracle jDriver

[Steve Temple]

I am trying to use the Oracele jDriver to connect to a database and I cant seem to do it. I checked the classpath to make sure it included BEA_HOME = D:\bea in my case, and I checked the license.bea file to see if there was an entry for the driver and there was... any other ideas - this is what I get when I try to run dbping. Thanks

1) Does the environment starting the WLS have it's ORACLE_HOME
environment variable set?
2) In the ORACLE_HOME directory, under network/admin, (or if solaris, under
/var/opt/oracle) there's a file tnsnames.ora. Is there an entry in that
file,
named fpdev1?
