On the client, you will need to have Oracle SQL*Net and the Oracle Protocol Adapter software installed (I assume this is TCP/IP).

You will also need SQL*Net and an Oracle Protocol Adapter installed on the server as well. Additionally, you will have to ensure that you have configured and running the Oracle database listener running on the server (LSNRCTL is the utility to start this). In essence, it is this listener process which awaits incoming DB connection requests and dispatches to the appropriate DB Server. Thanks!
