Client unable to connect to instance

The oracle server is on a linux box behind a linksys router and using my
isp's DNS and domain name in the resolv.conf file. These machines have
internal IP's ( i.e.. 192.168.1.100 )I believe this is where the problem
maybe. I am able to connect to the data base instance through a telnet
session although when trying from work or even another computer in the house
on the same subnet I get tns name failure .If I watch the listener logs in
either case,on the LAN or at work it shows the connection with the host name
,ip and then establish to the instance but I get the names lookup failure at
the client computer.The first line of the tnsnames.ora file must start
(instance + IP of the oracle server) or complains unable to resolve name
cannot just be the instance.




It sounds like a mess any help would be great.
