Dave,

I had exactly the same problem last week, except it was the other way around. I was getting a connection on my Solaris box, but I was getting that message on the NT box.

It turned out to be the install routine was flawed. I had installed on Solaris using the typical install routine, and on the NT using the custom method.

Lo and behold, no combination of custom options actually installs the tcp listener. And Oracle support gave the usual garbage as a response. You might want to check what you did with your Solaris install, and try a typical install to see if that gets you the TCP listener.

Good luck
