It depends on what flavor of SQLNet. If using AppleTalk, the installer includes a chooser extension. In the chooser, when you select the "oracle" icon, it will list all active Oracle DB's for you to select from. If you have multiple zones, it lists active db's in the selected zone.

If TCP/IP you have to edit the configuration files (to allow it to find databases) by hand, or use a tool like Server Manager to create an alias.
