What a great troll by the OP (or whomever set him up)! Essentially all that 160451.1 says is:

"If waits occur for SQL*Net messages (v$session_wait.wait_time=0), you are
experiencing network problems. For more information on the SQL*Net wait events, refer to the Oracle8i Documentation: Oracle8i Reference: Wait Events"

Basically, point fingers at the network admins and RTFM! LOL!
