SQL Developer: Failure -Test failed: IO Error: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection

Hi,

and sorry this is a really common questions and yes I did do a search, but I don't understand it.

First let me just tell you that Oracle 11g is installed on my second laptop on the same Network.

Secondly I can connect to the Database using Oracle SQL Developer on the laptop Oracle 11g is installed on.

The problem is I want to connect to the database on my main Laptop.

I put in the correct details Hostname 192.168.0.8 ( this is the laptop oracle is installed and running on)
Port 1521
SID dbarudu

****** YES I HAVE PORT FORWARDED
****** YES I HAVE ALLOWED 1521 on the FIREWALL
****** YES I HAVE EVEN SWITCHED OFF THE FIREWALL

Now one more thing you should know ... I don't know nothing about Oracle Servers ok.... so I have just installed Oracle 11g Enterprise and thought done it should be working now.


I just need to use oracle db for a project.

So keep in mind I am a total noob and terms like TNSPING etc mean absolutely nothing to me.
So please help, but help with step by step guide on how to get Oracle to let me have access from another computer.
