Getting this messages means that you have reached the server machine and the sqlnet listener of Oracle, so far so good.

Your problem has nothing to do with the Internet. There must be a problem in one of the configuration files on your server. Check all the entries in ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/listener.ora

Be sure that the SID matches the SID you choose at database creation time. Also check pathnames.

Good luck.
