I'd guess that you didn't tell the application side (via the
tnsnames.ora file) that the DB is on the same machine. Configure your
connection description to use IPC instead of TCP. This will involve
both your TNSNAMES file (to tell it to use IPC) and your LISTENER.ORA
file (to tell the listener to be listening for IPC calls as well as
TCP).
