Hi,

First try to ping your machine.
If this works, then try "tnsping80". This should be installed with the Oracle Client Software (SQLNet)

Syntax:
tnsping80 Servicename

The servicename should be defined in your tnsnames.ora This File should be in:
/ORANT/NET80/ADMIN
(Depends on where you installed the Software)

If there is a reply then it works, if not then you have to modify your tnsnames.ora
