K., Please check your TNSNAMES.ora file under your ORACLE_HOME/NETWORK/ADMIN directory. Review the connect string entry for the database you are trying to connect to - especially the host name/IP address of the machine where the database is. My guess is that this entry is incorrect.
hope this helps.
