'8i' usually doesn't say much, but in this context it says plenty; your '8i' database is 8.1.6 or earlier, and the 10.2 client won't 'talk' to any release earlier than 8.1.7.

You can try to upgrade your 8.1.6 database to 8.1.7 presuming you can find the software, otherwise you'll need a 9i or 8.1.x client to connect.
