Try this one: replace SERVICE_NAME by SID.<db_domain>. You can obtain this from another PC already connected to DB by: SQL> conn sys/<you_password> as sysdba
Connected.
SQL> show parameters db_domain

NAME                                 TYPE        VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ---------
db_domain                            string      WORLD
