You aren't running Microsux Terminal Server, by any chance? Oracle has a BEQueath net8 protocol which doesn't work on Terminal Server. As this is the only piece of software not supporting BEQ (VNC, PCnaywhere, etc don't have problems) Oracle doesn't seem to have plans to resolve this issue.
If you have a valid tnsnames.ora and sqlnet.ora on the server you can just copy them to the client %ORACLE_HOME%\network\admin directory.
