I'm a new Oracle user.

I've installed Oracle 9i on a Linux RedHat machine V9.0 and it's running.

I took a Windows XP machine and installed the Oracle client on it along with PL/SQL developer from All-Around-Software.

I try to connect and I get an error message ORA-12545 "Connect failed because target host or object does not exist".

The listener log on the Linux box indicates that something tried to connect.

Could someone be so kind as to direct me to the proper Oracle documentation to get a Windows XP client to Linux server connection running?

Regards,
