Joe,

A newer version of SQL*NET fixed the problem. I was using 1.1.7.8, and 1.1.7.10.4 does the trick. This newer version however does not include the Microsoft TCP/IP-32 for WFWG in its list of vendor software, but it does have the Windows NT TCP/IP software listed. I chose Windows NT from the list, and the installer did the rest. I changed the c:\windows\services file myself and pointed the oracle.ini file to it, but it worked either way. I just wanted to have one "services" file on my PC.
