This is probably due to wrong tcp/ip address in tnsnames.ora or the server is on a separate network from the clients.
Try to ping with the address in the tnsnames.ora. If it does not work check the tcp/ip address or call the network administrator. If it works try tnsping with the connection string from tnsnames.ora.
