Tnsping from any client to new server fails

Question

Hi there,
This was my first oracle 10g install and everything seemed to be working but now its not. I just installed a 10g server and added it's IP to my tnsnames.ora files on my other computers. I can ping it regularly just fine but tnsping fails. Any ideas? Our network has a subnetmask of 255.255.255.192, could that cause a problem?
[root@SLE admin]# ping 154.114.145.253

Thanks, I already have the listener and database starting and the environmental variables being set in a .bash file (not my idea but I'll change that later).
