Help SQLNet Error - ORA 12598

Hi,

After installing Oracle 7 Developer 2000 on a Windows 3.1 PC using PCTCP OnNet stack, I am getting an error of ORA 12598 while trying to use SQLPlus 3.1 and trying to connect to a database whose alias is specified in tnsnames.ora. I know that the TCP/IP stack works okay, since I can ping out and connect to the machine with the database using standard methods like telnet. While using the Oracle Net test utility I get the same error ORA 12598 and it complains about problems with native services. When I get the same error in SQLPlus 3.1 it says: ORA 12598 - Cnct Error Can't get text of Error Message. Has anyone else had any experience with the same error code and if so is there any fix available. During the installation of Oracle I took all the recommended defaults so the installation is as standard as it gets. Any help will be appreciated.
