Configuring hetrogeneous services in Oracle 10g database

Question

Hello all,
Oracle database 10.2.0.4
Windows XP
I am trying to configure the Oracle hetrogeneous services in Oracle database to transfer data from SQL server database.
For eg:
I have *"A"* machine and *"B"* machine. SQL server database is in *"A"* machine and Oracle database is in *"B"* machine.
I have configured the Hetrogeneous services in Oracle (machine B) database as per the document
http://www.databasejournal.com/features/oracle/article.php/10893_3442661_1/Making-a-Connection-from-Oracle-to-SQL-Server.htm
I have done the same things..
After configuring i restarted the listener and it was ok.. but when i tnsping its giving No listener error.
Whether i need to configure anything in the SQL server database side ?
Please advice...
TIA,
