Look in your tnsnames.ora file. (ORACLE_HOME\net80\admin) and make sure the
name is listed there. (the tnsnames.ora on the workstation) Also try at the
server run sqlplus or vaw and do a loop back test. (log in as a user with
the name in the tnsnames.ora file. So if you have a user called Dirk with a
password of dirk and the tnsnames shows dirksdb then try connect
Dirk/dirk_at_dirksdb from a sqlplus or a vaw prompt. If that works then the
tnsnames.ora on the server is fine - doing this from the server. Copy the
tnsnames.ora from the server to the workstation and you should be good to
go.
