As ALWAYS, it helps immensely to know the OS, OS Version and Oracle version being discuessed.

It seems to me that while you know for sure that you have a problem, you don't seem to have a clue as to exactly where the source of the problem might reside. Therefore I suggest you attempt to do some troubleshooting.

I "assume" that you have the Oracle client s/w installed on your PC. I'd 1st get SQL*Plus or a similar software sucessfully accessing the Oracle database. This helps to ensure that Oracle & its listener are properly configured & functioning. Without this capability you are SOL. Come back after you've confirmed these work.
