You probably have tcp/ip entries in listener.ora and tnsnames.ora make sure the host= ... reads either
host=<your computer name as in the network applet in control panel> or
host=localhost where localhost is defined in the hosts file as 127.0.0.1. Using 127.0.0.1 should also work but is bit mory ugly and undesirable.
