As a minimum, you need to make sure the services - OracleService<SID>, where SID is the SID of your database - OracleTNSListenener
and
- OracleDBControl<SID>
are running.
Also you need to verify whether you can actually access the database by firing up a DOS-box and issuing
set ORACLE_SID=<yoursid>
sqlplus sys/<password> as sysdba

If you get
'Connected to an idle instance'
the database is not running, and you need to issue startup

From your post it is highly unlikely the installation was successful. Also there is no service called 'OR'
You don't have a DHCP-based IP address by any chance?
