If the listener is not password protected you can set a listener.ora in the OH/TNS_ADMIN on your client(or some other machine with lsnrctl installed), using the same parameters from your thsnames.ora and then run lsnrctl services listener_name to see the correct service name. You could check the sqlnet.ora default domain parameter too.
