I have seen this behaviour when the remote server is behind a firewall. If
this is the case then the explanation is that although port 1521 is open on
the firewall allowing tnsping to work, the listener allocates a random port
for the actual database session. This port will be blocked resulting in the
behaviour you see. Of course if this is not the case I have no idea without
error messages. you could try setting tracing on your net8 connections and
seeing what the logfile says.
