Net8: connect from remote client but not local client

SITUATION
Oracle 8 installation. can connect to the server via TCP from remote client (proven with NT client). however, cannot use TCP to connect to database from the server.
  e.g. on the server

        sqlplus tigger/bounce
  works but

        sqlplus tigger/bounce_at_pooh
  does not.

ASK
1. is this because the client is not linked with the TCP adapters? 2. is this because of bad tnsnames.ora file?

please advise

thank you
