Funny you should ask this. (Well, it's not funny-- I recently went through this hell myself.)

First of all, make sure that the hosts and services address translation files are loaded in the right place on your workstation for the TCP/IP stack software to access them; SQL*Net TCP/IP also needs to access the SERVICES file, and the TCP_SERVICES_FILE entry in your ORACLE.INI should reflect the location of this file.

Second, the version of TCP/IP SQL*Net for Windows you have might have a bug in it that can be fixed by using the following modified connect string:

t:hostnam/1525:instancenam

where hostnam is the UNIX node name of your server, 1525 (or the appropriate entry from your host's /etc/services file) represents the
services address for the listener
instancenam is your Oracle instance

Later versions of SQL*Net TCP/IP v1.x seem to not have this problem; the one I just installed from CD-ROM has this bug corrected.

Good luck!
