    Check for documentation on your tnsnames.ora/listener.ora/remote password file authentication.
    Problem is in either of these three.

    Hows it going

    Sounds like, its a problem with your tns names file,

    1. Make sure you can ping the server,
    2. And ensure, that the tnsnames file is configured correctly.

    XR01.WORLD =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = Xr01)
    (PORT = 1521))
    )
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVICE_NAME = xr01)
    )
    )

    Hope this syntax helps.....
