Wolfgang, if I were him, I would first try with ping and telnet to the port. That can be any number of things. For instance, SA might have changed the IP address of the box and the name server and his PC is not updated and so the tns descriptor is desperately trying to cajole network printer into providing a connection on port 1521. I've actually had such a case. It's a very good thing that the fire alarms are usually not accessible by using the TCP protocol.

If so copy that as well. Maybe that pc is not even using the tnsnames.ora.
