Did you check TNS_ADMIN variable point correct directory for the TNSNAMES.ORA, SQLNET.ORA file?
or
set TNS_ADMIN varible where TNSNAMES.ORA or SQLNET.ORA file is exists.

Do we have to set the variable tns_admin in client machine too.

If so let us know how can we do it?

In the machine from which you are trying to connect. It is better aviod using tnsnames.ora.
