    Shall we understand you were able to connect that way in the past?
    Do you have remote authentication enabled?
    Are you using the oracle account to log into the Unix box?
    Have you set your environmental variables properly?

    Post try this

    Please try:

    sqlplus / as sysdba


    If that doesn't work (it should on unix, if your userid is a member of the 'dba' group) please let us know the setting of remote_login_passwordfile
