You might need to check to see if your database has been started up, or check to see if you have set a correct ORACLE_SID environment variable, or your tnsnames.ora file include the configuration of your database service. If you run Oracle on NT, you might need to check to see if the NT service for your database has been started. If you run Oracle on Unix, you might need to check to see if your background job of Oracle database has started (Check /etc/oratab file). Good Luck.
