learner,
All of the Oracle networking setup is saved in a few text files in $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin During the install, or when you run the Network Configuration Assistant, these files will be created: sqlnet.ora tnsnames.ora
You already have these files for Oracle8i and they are mostly compatible with Oracle10g.

Almost all third party software programs use these to get to the Oracle database. No other configuration is usually needed.
