TNS: could not resolve the connect identifier specified

Hello. Can someone help me figure out what I may have wrong with this connection string? This will be used in a VB.net program with the string entered in the APP.CONFIG file. (names changed obviously)

      providerName="oracle.dataAccess"
        connectionString="Data Source=(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(COMMUNITY=tcp.world)(PROTOCOL=TCP)(Host=XXXXXXXXX.XXXX.XXX.pvt)(Port=XXXXX)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=PXXXXXXF))(GLOBAL_NAME=PXXXXXXF.world))OK (280 msec);User Id=username;Password=password" />-->
