I had this happen to me on version 7.3.3.4(?) and I never found out why it happens or how to fix it. Oracle was no help at all. The worst part was that any existing connections were just fine. So Users are calling me saying "I Can't Connect" and I was connected fine so I thought it was the clients. I'm running around trying to figure out what's going on thinking it was on the client end before I finally tried creating a second session from my machine and failled. When I went through the logs I found an error in the NT Event log which I fixed. It had something to do with Oracle not being setup correctly for NT Performance monitor. I don't think they were related even though they happened at the same time. The only other thing I did was change the listener to full logging. Haven't seen the problem since then but I don't think I fixed it yet.

I've never had problems running GUI apps on my Oracle/NT server. mind you I am a bit of a conservative and don't run any other apps on my Oracle Servers. I even back them up via the network so I don't even have backups running on it. ( I've never been really comfortable with NT. ) I Have heard that running some of the old 16-bit Oracle client tools on an NT/Oracle server could cause problems but I never encountered that problem myself.
