Try some further analysis: (speaking for TCP/IP)

1.) ping your DB server
2.) IF alive, TNSPING the listener with your TNS alias (as configured

    in SQL*Net Easy config?)
3.) Probably the port numbers in your TNSNAMES.ORA (client) and your

    LISTENER.ORA (server) differ. You may want to edit your client     file manually (correct the port).
4.) TNSPING again
5.) IF TNSPING reports success, connect via SQL*Plus.

If this doesn't help, repost a message including ALL error numbers you get reported during 1.)-5.)

Hope this helped, bye
