Ahhhhh . You are actually using a tool that uses ODBC on Unix! That's a scary thought :)
I've heard ODBC was available on Unix, but never really knew anyone who used it.
Not sure I can help much, but have you tried the other methods of testing connectivity...
- ping machine/server-name - test Tcp/Ip network -
- tnsping net8-database-name - test Oracle listener process on server
- sqlplus - test database up/down and account/password
