ORA-12514:TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor

I had the install up and running months before my network was moved to a different location.  This is Oracle 10g Personal Edition, so of course it required a Loopback Adapter.  When I moved the ip address of my home network got shuffled around.  I had to diable the loopback adapter to get interenet service.  I have created another loopback adapter with an ip addres I believe to be free on my network.  

I am trying to use the SQL*Plus utility, and it gave this error: ORA-12514:TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor.

In my services:

the tns listerner is started

My tnsnames.ora:
# tnsnames.ora Network Configuration File: C:\oracle10g\ora92\network\admin\tnsnames.ora

  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = EMERALD)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVER = DEDICATED)
      (SERVICE_NAME = LMS)
    )
  )

CS335 =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = emerald)(PORT = 1521))
    )
    (CONNECT_DATA =

In the advance tab I set the ip address for the loopback adapter as 192.168.0.5 even though my computers ip is 192.168.0.1.3  Is this wrong?
>>192.168.0.1.3
     ? is it 192.168.0.13

      look at the aritcle, if you are using xp, you might need to switch your home network to 192.168.1.xx or others
I did what tose direction on the loopback adapter saidand I get a warning that my internet connection is intermitant
Is your instance up and running?

The loopback address must be updated here:

Add a line to the C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file

IP_address   hostname

I.E.

# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.

# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
#      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server
#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host

180.15.10.128         123.mysite.com.
192.168.100.100      paquicuba.mysite.com.
he could still keep the original loop back adaptor there ...
You helped a bunch, solution was as you said to bring back the loop back adapter and change the right click on loopback adapter in Network Connections and goto properties > Configure > Advanced Tab > change the 'medium' to the item in the drop down box to ARCNET and give the item 'Network Address' a value outside the range on the router.
