   Have you tried checking you listener.ora configuration files and sqlnet.ora files for any
configuration that uses this services ?

    they are most often in /etc directory (UNIX) or in $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin

Check for any services configured using IPC protocol since you should be using TCP/IP
like what you said . See to it that both files are configured properly .

I hope this helps !
