Haven't spent much time with "network manager", but to configure Sql*Net you'll need to setup a tnsnames.ora file (default location /orant/network/admin) and a listener.ora on the server side.

These two files are well documented and must be in sync (e.g. same port, consistent database names, etc.).

Good luck
