This is what Oracle says:
Quote:
ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist

Cause: The address specified is not valid, or the program being connected to does not exist.

Action: Ensure the ADDRESS parameters have been entered correctly; the most likely incorrect parameter is the node name. Ensure that the executable for the server exists (perhaps "oracle" is missing.) If the protocol is TCP/IP, edit the TNSNAMES.ORA file to change the host name to a numeric IP address and try again.

I agree.
It's got to be the TNSNAMES check the connection parameters.

Also make sure that if you have many database instances in your server they are all contained in your TNSNAMES file.
It happend to me once, we have 2 instances ,ADMI and OPER, so when I moved from one computer to another, the new one didn't have OPER in the file.
