You might have success searching Google for these errors. A quick search of net8 admin yields many hits. The only things I can think of off hand are to first verify that your listener is running and that the db is started and registered with it. At the shell prompt execute... lsnrctl status Is it running? Do you you see your DB listed there as a service? If not running, execute lsnrctl start. Run lsnrctl status again. Is the db showing? If db not showing execute sqlplus / as sysdba. When you get to the SQL\> prompt execute alter system register; and then get out of SQL\*Plus. Execute lsnrctl status again. Do you see your db? If so, try Toad again. If your db is installed locally on your machine I'd change the host in the tnsnames.ora file to be either localhost or 127.0.0.1 if it's currently using your network machine name.

Verify that the host for the TNS names entry you're using is correct. Can you ping that host? In the TNSNames Editor you should also try to tnsping the database.
