Connectivity Problem for oracle7.3 on SCO unix

Hello All!

This is my first mail to google groups.I have a problem.Please guide me.
I have installed oracle 7.3 on two SCO unix machines.I want to connect them.
I stared listener and create a service on one machine for other.when i tried to connectI recieve the following error. ORA-12154 :TNS unable to resolve service name. I checked TNSNAMES.ora the entery for service was added in it.(OK) I also checked the SQLNET.ora for naming methods.TNSNAMES was selected.(OK)
i delivered 'ADAPTERS' command and result was, IPC adapter.
BEQ adapter.
i.e TCP/IP protocol adapter was not installed. I go in customized mode in order to install TCP/IP protocol adapter But I did not find any option for that However,It should be there. I think i have missed patch for TCP/IP protocol adapter which is i think TCPPA patch for oracle7.3.
plese anybody tell me
1-Am i right or there is some other problem? 2-if i am right then how can i get TCPPA patch? 3=How can i link after installing TCP/IP protocol adapter. 4-Can i connect forms6i running on windows 2000 to oracle7.3 on SCO unix if i can tell me how?
