ORACLE_BASE, ORACLE_HOME, and ORACLE_SID have correct values..

Database is up and running...

Listener have services for database (i can connect to db from a client workstation)

tnsnames.ora

mydb =
  (DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =

       (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL= TCP)(Host= irm2)(Port= 1521))     )
(CONNECT_DATA =

      (SERVICE_NAME = mydb)
    )
  )

sqlnet.ora

# SQLNET.ORA Network Configuration File: /home/oracle/network/admin/sqlnet.ora # Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
