Hi Michael,

I had the exact same problem, adding Dev2k 2.0 to an existing 7.3.2 server
on my notebook.
In the release notes to Dev2k 2.0, it says that one shouldn't install the
product in the same ORA_HOME when the server release is below 7.3.4. I didn't have 7.3.4 at hand, so I re-installed SQL*Net client from 7.3.2 server CD (ignoring warnings that I'm trying to install old stuff over new stuff).
The problem with tnslistener consuming 100% cpu time (and by the way producing a huge trace dump file) had gone and everything worked perfect.
So I thought first.
The next problem appeared when trying to run report builder software. All programs, when started, immediately come up with error message, indicating procedure 'nldotrc' having no entry point in 'NLNT.DLL'. NLNT.DLL is part of SQL*Net client software - I copied the file from Dev2k-CD into ORANT\BIN, overwriting the existing file (good idea to backup the old one first).
Now all works fine.

Hope this helps

Jan
