Regrettably Developer 2.1 seems to use sqlnet 2.3. If you have a proper install of Developer you will have that on your system. Copy your tnsnames.ora and sqlnet.ora to %ORACLE_HOME%\network\admin and retry.
BTW: I would rather configure TCP/IP (with localhost = 127.0.0.1 in my hosts file) than using bequeath. Bequeath seems to be a facto five slower compared to tcp/ip.
