ORA-12154: TNS: could not resolve service name

I am in the process of installing Unix (Digital) Server/Client based Oracle pacakge. The command "sqlplus SCOTT/TIGER" was successful on the server machine. But, testing "sqlplus SCOTT/TIGER_at_comets", where 'comets' is the server aliase, or doing anything like "sqlplus oracle/password_at_comets", from either the server or clients, would result in above error message. Helps are appreciated.

In installing the Oracle server on Digital UNIX, it is required to pre-install a SQL*NET server on a window PC. Is the only purpose of doing this is to get the configuration files that would be copied to the UNIX server/clients? Or, the SQL*NET server on the PC will function as a SQL*NET server for the whole system? The tons of manuals never say anything about this.
