You can use following string in tnsnames.ora file :

TEST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 000.000.000.000)(PORT = 1521))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = TEST)
)
)

Apart from this u can use Oracle 8.i's Net8 Configuration Assisstant.

Kchitij,
The connection string was a tested one. Make sure that the TNS service and the DataBase service are running. Also the classpaths are set properly in your environment variables.
You can use Net8 Configuration Utility also.

PS: put the host ip in the HOST parameter in this connection string.

LDTestDB =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = <ip>)(PORT = 1521))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = LDTestDB)
)
)

-Will.
