Okay this I have to read

NAMES.DIRECTOY_PATH keeps TNSNAMES first. With all other machines it works fine. I can do ping and a tnsping to the misfailure pc but I cannot connect. The Database is running, connecting from the machine to the database also works fine.

So it look like to be a TCP/IP problem?
