First you may have a look and configure on your client the file tnsnames.ora that may contain a list of aliases for database connection over several protocols (TCP may the only one needed in your case).

To handle connections from client, you need a listener on your server, validate first that a such process is started on your server.

hints :
use Oracle Net8 assistant to create your tnsnames file, syntax problems will be excluded
