Linux server is named TUX. Listener is running on this box at port 1555.
The database is called tux11g. Your desktop is using TNSNAMES.ORA to
resolve database alias names into server/port/sid-service and protocol.
On your desktop:
Ping tux. If you get a result, good. If not, you need to get your sys
admins to add tux to the DNS system or the local hosts file on Windows
7, wherever that lives!
Edit your tnsnames.ora file found under /network/admin on
your desktop. Add the following:
Note that “.world” is as per defined in sqlnet.ora (in the same
directory) under the setting:
NAMES.DEFAULT_DOMAIN = world
Please check the setting:
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (tnsnames)
It can have other stuff in brackets, but make sure tnsnames is found.
In a cmd session on the Windows desktop, run a “tnsping tux11g”
command. You should get a response of “TNS-03505: Failed to resolve
name” then there is a problem that needs to be resolved because your
client is not reading the sqlnet or tnsnames files.
Assuming you get this instead:
Attempting to contact
(DESCRIPTION=(SOURCE_ROUTE=OFF)(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PRO
TOCOL=TCP)(HOST=tux)(PORT=1555)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SREVICE=tux11g)(SERVER=D
EDIC
ATED)))
OK (20 msec)
Then you are there!
Start Toad and login to a username and password on database tux11g and
you are done.

On top of Norms detailed instructions I would also want to point out
that the Oracle client you have installed is the 32-bit version and not the 64-bit one. Toad is 32-bit app and will not work with the
64-bit client.

As a note added to Norm’s instructions, a suggestion:
Toad is not an Oracle client itself, it makes use of your Oracle client that is
installed. After you get your tnsnames set up, test connecting to the database
through the SQLPlus client first.
That way you can be sure if you run into an issue that it’s not with Toad.
