ODBC gateway in windows connecting local oracle to local mysql

Question

I have setup a test system in my local Vista pc with oracle 11g and mysql. Just installed ODBC gateway and follow the instruction. The listener sid for ODBC started OK. But when I tried tnsping <sid>, it failed with tns-03505 failed to resolve name.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Lawrence

// *Cause:  The service name you provided could not be found in TNSNAMES.ORA,
//          an Oracle Names server, or a native naming service.If the entry could not be found in tnsnames, the process never got far enough for the listener to come into play. Looking at the listener, the listener status, listener configuration, or listener logs is a waste of time for this error.
You couldn't find the number you were looking for in the telephone directory. You don't solve that by looking to the telephone exchange switchboard.
