What is the name of the name server you have created. If you do not specify the name in the namesctl start command, it assumes a default name of NameServer.

Then there could be a problem of ports. Make sure on that. Try to use default values on that. See if the port number in the file 'names.ora' is same as the port numnber on which the listner is running.

Let me know if you still get problems. We are running Oracle Names here and I know very well how it works.
