You'll need to verify that you have the tnsnames.ora file in
$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin setup correctly.
Example: /opt/oracle/product/9.2.0/network/admin/tnsnames.ora
Some versions want 'SID' instead of 'SERVICE_NAME' in the 'CONNECT_DATA'
Example:
DB1 =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = db1)
)
)
Ensure the listener is running on the database server with:
tnsping <address>
Example (good):
$ tnsping 10.1.9.2
TNS Ping Utility for Linux: Version 9.2.0.1.0 - Production on 18-DEC-2002

Used parameter files:
/opt/oracle/product/9.2.0/network/admin/sqlnet.ora
Used HOSTNAME adapter to resolve the alias
Attempting to contact
(DESCRIPTION=(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=*)(SERVICE_NAME=10.1.9.2))(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=10.1.9.2)(PORT=1521)))
OK (130 msec)
Example (bad):
$ tnsping 10.1.9.1
