Sql – IO Error: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection – with Oracle 11gR2. Connecting with SQL developer

I have installed Oracle 11g ON a RedHat6 linux instance, by following all the steps mentioned in "http://technologylair.net/2013/08/oracle-11g-installation-linux/#comment-50" I am trying to connect to the database from a remote machine using the sql developer. But always ending up with – "IO Error: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection".

The parameters i am using are

Username: sys as sysdba 
Password: <oracle password> 
Hostname: IP address of the server on which Oracle SQL is installed. 
Port: 1521 
SID: testdb

I have also created a listener.ora file at location – "/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/network/admin", as it was not present before. Whose contents are –

SID_LIST_LISTENER =
  (SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
      (SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
      (ORACLE_HOME = /u01/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1)
      (PROGRAM = extproc)
    )
  )

LISTENER =
  (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC_FOR_TESTDB))
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 173.39.238.15)(PORT = 1521))
    )
  )

DEFAULT_SERVICE_LISTENER = (TESTDB)

I have posted this question on dba.stackexchange too. but i need to get this resolved as soon as possible. and need help. Hence posting it here too.

Can you please tell me what i might be doing wrong.

Thanks.

EDIT the out put of "lsnrctl status"
