The service name is usually the instance name (ORACLE SID).
To see if there is a listener running open up a DOS box and type
lsnrctl stat
If it's running you should get a message indicating when it was started and
then a list of services that it is listening for. If it is not running type
lsnrctl start
Then, assuming your SQL*Net configuration files are okay it should start up and
again list the services it is listening for.
You should then be able to connect your clients.
