Oracle keeps saying: ORA-1034 Oracle not available when I connect via user/pass_at_tcp-loopback.world

The database IS running and I can connect via user/pass :

 1920  ?  S    0:00 ora_pmon_MCNT1 
 1922  ?  S    0:00 ora_dbw0_MCNT1 
 1924  ?  S    0:00 ora_lgwr_MCNT1 
 1926  ?  S    0:00 ora_ckpt_MCNT1 
 1928  ?  S    0:00 ora_smon_MCNT1 
 1930  ?  S    0:00 ora_reco_MCNT1 
 3518  ?  S    0:00 /opt/oracle8/app/oracle/product/8.0.5//bin/tnslsnr 

The tnslistener is running. here is the config:

nostromo_lsnr=
 (
  ADDRESS_LIST=
  (ADDRESS=
(PROTOCOL=TCP)
(HOST=127.0.0.1)
(PORT=1526)

  )
  (ADDRESS=
(PROTOCOL=IPC)
(KEY=MCNT1)

 )
)  

SID_LIST_nostromo_lsnr=
 (SID_LIST=
  (SID_DESC=
(SID_NAME=MCNT1)
(ORACLE_HOME=/disk4/oracle/oracle8/app/oracle/product/8.0.5)
 )
)

and tnsnames.ora:                        

Tcp-loopback.world =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =

        (ADDRESS = 
          (COMMUNITY = tcp.world)
          (PROTOCOL = TCP)
          (Host = 127.0.0.1)
          (Port = 1526)
        )

    )
    (CONNECT_DATA = (SID=MCNT1)
    )
 )

What I am doing wrong ??
