If I recall I had a problem using describe too. Forgot about exact versions and error message. But if I remember it well, there is some kind of incompatibility when you have sqlplus and sqlnet from a V7.3.x client and a V8.0 or V8.1 database.
Could that be your problem?

| Hello
|
| Oracle 8i/Solaris
|
| I am having this weird problem:
| If I am using sql*plus on my NT Client to describe a broad table
| (broad meaning: having a lot of columns) I receive an
| ORA-12592: TNS:bad packet. This doesn't happen if I describe a small
| table.
|
| Even more interestingly, if I desc the broad table from an sql*plus
| sitting on the server, I have no problems.
|
| I figure that must be a networking issue, but have no clue where to start
| debugging this issue.
|
| I have turned on TRACE_LEVEL_CLIENT=16 in my local sqlnet.ora, but am
| overwhelmed by the amount of trace information this gives.
|
| Can someone give me a clue where to start debugging this?
|
| TIA
| MK
