It looks like you are making progress.
Try a Google search for: ORA-12638
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=ORA-12638
The first result is currently a thread on Oracle's support forums, and appears to be helpful - the thread discusses the value of SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES. If the computer's time varies from the Active Directory domain controller's time by more than 5 minutes (the default), domain authentication will fail, if the computer is a member of Active Directory.
