Did you adjust the path in the tnsnames.ora after copying? e.g.
if you copy from .....\ora81\network\admin\tnsnames.ora into

                            .....\orant\net80\admin

you have to correct the path in the tns..file

{I also got the hint to add following :
 <database_name>.world =
   (description =

       (address_list =
          (address = (PROTOCOL =TCP)
          (HOST = <PC_NAME>)
          (PORT = 1521)
       )

   )
 (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVICE_NAME = <Database_name>)
  )
}
Hope it helps
