You'll need to configure sqlnet or set the registry variable ORACLE_SID appropiately. As you don't provide any information about your installation (do you have personal oracle or a client/server situation) it is very difficult to resolve your problem.
12203 means there's no network connection to the host. sqlnet is configured in sqlnet.ora, listener.ora and tnsnames.ora. Upon client connection tnsnames.ora is used. But of course, that's all in the manual.

I'm new to Oracle and have just installed the tools. When I run the SQL*plus and attempt to use the scott/tiger combo. I get Error:Tns-12203 unable to connect error. I'm just not sure what file I should edit to point it the Oracle Home directory if I'm thinking correctly.
 
Any help would be appreciated.
