Chris,

The error message that you are getting indicates that sqlplus (or whatever tool you are using to connect) cannot find the alias that you are using. You posted a tnsping to mydev.world which shows that the listener is up. Are you using mydev.world as the alias for the database? eg sqlplus scott/tiger_at_mydev.world, or are you using something else (scott/tiger_at_mydev for example. )
