Dev 6 connection to Oracle 8i

Question

I have installed PO8i on different directory to Developer 6.0 ( Win 98 ).When I trying connecting through developer 6 to the database, I get the messages ORA -12154 and ORA - 12203. Also when on press connect I get a Dial-up connection.
I have tried some of the suggestions described in the Oracle site but no such luck
http://www.oracle.com/support/oracleinstall/devtools/developer.html
TNSNAMES FROM THE DIRECTORY -- C:\Oracle\Ora81\NETWORK\ADMIN
# C:\ORACLE\ORA81\NETWORK\ADMIN\TNSNAMES.ORA Configuration File:c:\Oracle\Ora81\NETWORK\ADMIN\tnsnames.ora
# Generated by Oracle Net8 Assistant
TEST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = XYZ)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = ORCL)

(PROTOCOL_STACK =
(PRESENTATION = TTC)
(SESSION = NS)
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = Oracle8)
(SID_NAME = ORCL)
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = c:\Oracle\Ora81)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
Can someone shed some light on this, as I have spent a couple days trying to resolve this.
