[Quoted] Before you go any farther, you should probably ensure Net8 is set up & working using TNSPING and SQLPLUS. (This set up procedure is reasonably well documented in the install guide & I recommend that guide be the next place to browse if you have not already done so.)

Some hints for possible errors/configurations, from client to database:

- you have not set up Net8 on the client,
- you have not configured Net8 (tnsnames.ora) for the target service
- you have not associated the tnsnames.ora service with a

host/port/service
- the server identified in the client's tnsnames.ora is not listening - the server's listener does not recognize the requested service in it's own configs
- the configs poiint to a service that's not available - the service is not a database instance
