Did you build a TNSNAMES.ORA file on the client? If you didn't click on the Oracle icon in the start menu and find the NET8 Easy icon (I might have the name wrong, but it should be second or third from the bottom) and use it to build the TNSNAMES.ORA file which is used to validate the arguments you supply. If I remember correctly you have to supply an alias (the name you want to call the database), the communications protocol, the address/name of the server, and the SID.
