It means you have no listener running on the node you try to connect to. If you did configure sqlnet using the net8 configuration assistant you just need to type
lsnrctl start
in a dos box.
If you didn't configure sqlnet, you need to do so know. Using localhost as host name when you have localhost defined in c:\windows\hosts
should always work.

Hth,
