A real newbie DBA question on setting up a 9i client

When I configure an 8i client to attach to an Oracle database, I always have the
The service name which has always been the database/instance name -- I assume these don't necessarily have to be the same, but it appears to be that way for single database applications.

I also have the host name which has always been the NetBIOS name of the hosting W2K server.

So here is the question, is that all I need to configure the client if I know I'm going to connect using TCP for a 9i client?
