'and still I do not have an answer'

This is *NOT*, I repeat *NOT* Oracle support, this a volunteer group!!!!!

Also, Oracle comes with a net8 troubleshooting manual.

Secondly:
without posting your listener.ora, sqlnet.ora and tnsnames.ora, which you claim to be correct, no one can resolve your problem. If you used one of the assistants and you have a proper install, it just should work. If you hacked those files manually, you just might have messed up. You always can enable tracing (how to do this is in the net8 troubleshooting guide), just to provide more detail than 12560.
