Read the documentation to configure tnsnames.ora file on the Client side and listener.ora on the Server side .

And then post back the specific problem.

*)Install client(SQL plus) on ur machine
*)make use of network config tool to configure Network name service (this will create TNSname.ora file ) in ur client machine.
*)same tool you can you have the option to test the connection to server.

*)if everythin is fine, just try connecting from SQL plus ,entering username/password/hostname (Network service name).

Let me know the results .

No, its some config needed in client side.

from client if you want to connect, you have to create a network service name and test it . using network configuration tool coming with oracle client installation(SQLplus).

suppose you have a instance DB1 running in ur server,you can use network config tool in client to create network service name specifying remote instance(DB1),port no:,hostname etc... This would create TNSname.ora file in ur client with all info.

later you can connect to DB1 from ur machine , specifying username/password/host string(nothing but your Network serice name.

i think enough info:

I have finish install the oracle server in server machine.I follow the installation instruction during the installation setup.I have choose GISDB for SID and net services.

So does i need to configure Network name service in server machine using network configure tools?

For the client :-

I have install Oracle client in client machine.I have create network services name using network configure tools.When i want to connect the database from my client machine,I got the message like this TNS:could not resolve service name.Why it happend? When i look at taskbar, I found that the small computer at the right near the taskbar, the recieve is 0 .I attach the simple snapshoot for you. Where i can found the file TNSname.ora . Which folder?

It is not necessary to configure NSN in serverside .

Client machine,While configuring NSN there was an option to test connection using the NSN you created.One TEST button.Have you test the connection?

Also while conneting from SQL Plus enter ur username ,password and NSN in hostname field.Also make sure instance and listner is running in your server .

You can find your TNSname.ora file under ORACLE_HOME \network\admin on Windows platforms .
