Scott, I know nothing about your Platinum product and I really do not like to respond to SQLNET problems since there are so many variations possible, but as google is currently showing no responses to your post I will mention a couple of things that you can check:

1 - I take it that since you have a v1 and v2 listener running at the same time and I assume on the same box that they are not listening on the same port for the same protocol at the same ip address. Our experience tells up that normally when you start the second listener it will result in the first one terminating but on some platforms/versions you might just get the two listeners conflicting on the messages.

2 - If you have a v2 listener running it should be able to listen for everybody so there should be no need to run a v1 listener

Note - it might help to get a meaningful response if you posted your platform OS versions, Oracle versions, and Net8/SQLNET versions. Often the actual listener.ora and tnsnames.ora files in use must be posted for someone on the board to resolve a SQLNET problem.
