Simplistically,That command syntax uses the 'bequeath adapter' which basically says "Connect to the database instance via shared memory on the local machine".
To go across the network, you MUST use a network protocol (effectively using the @alias or @host:port/service technique). The listener on the other end must be operational and creates the server process that works as your proxy.
